Nigerian highlife duo, Isaiah Precious a.k.a Piego and George Dandeson a.k.a Knowledge, have spoken of how their passion for music made them a unique duo after they first met between 2010 and 2011.
In a recent chat, the singer and rapper from Port Harcourt, said they began with making dope Afro sounds till they actually found their niche.
“I think what kept us going was the passion for the music. We had genuine love for the music; it wasn’t all about to just blow up. It was just to make good records that we could listen to, and our friends could listen to, and they vibe. When we were coming up, the guys that we were recording with in their studio, we were all just focused on making Afro sounds. Every time someone makes it doper, we always go back to the studio to record something that is doper than what we did previously, so it was kind of like a competition in a positive way. That kept us going—the passion, the love, the drive. We always say that we are making music from Port Harcourt as good as the people in Lagos, so we were just focused on doing more, recording more, to just keep recording,” Dandeson said.

In the same vein, Precious opened up on the idea behind their Bad Boy Etiquette ethos, saying: “We’re trying to be entertaining but we still want to have a little depth, a little insight, because a lot of artists are just putting out music, and it’s just entertaining and that’s just what it is. You really never take anything out of it; it’s just about having a good time, and we feel like it as much as we want to be entertaining—we try to be comical in our lyrics and our raps—we still want you to take back something. Listen and either be motivated, or take any sort of information that will benefit you. That’s the artists we want to be, so that’s why we said ‘Bad Boy Etiquette,’ entertaining you and still giving you games, teaching you how to move as a person,” he said.
