Speaking exclusively with The Nation at the album listening on Sunday, the comic star said he’s back to his first love – music.
“Back then, I started with music, I never really left it. I just took a pause and now I’m back on it but it does not affect any other thing that I’m doing because they all complement each other,” he said.
Continuing he said:”Right now, I’m creating content like ‘Flatmate’, ‘Baba Benji’, ‘Ghana Jollof’, and all these contents require soundtracks.

“So, in the process of making a soundtrack, I began making music.
“I’m a standup comedian, I’m still doing it. I’m making everything in one unit but people see it as several units but the truth is, the soundtrack compliment the movies.”
Basketmouth revealed that he doesn’t choose the features artists based on popularity but talents
“I didn’t choose these artists based on popularity. I chose them based on what I could hear, if I hear your voice, I’ll come for you, and even if I can’t get you, I’ll look for somebody that got the kind of voice that you have but that really did not happen.”
On what inspires the title of his soundtrack albums, he said it comes naturally.
“I don’t force it out. it comes like ‘Yabasi’. Even though, I have a movie titled ‘Scorpio’ I decided not to name this music album the same as it would resist the album to just Scorpio zodiac sign. So, I was like why not make it ‘Horoscope’ so that you can get more.
“As an Igbo man, I love highlife music and that was why I made Yabasi but ‘Horoscope’ is a combination of different genres of music.”
