“Rewardbeatz crafted the instrumental and recorded a demo in the studio with Lil Kesh. Kesh then sent the draft for me to check it out and see if I liked the track. I listened to it and immediately started recording what I was feeling at the moment, and that’s how DND was born,” comments the independent Afrobeats superstar and Dangbana Republik president about the creative process of this new release.
