It is no longer hush-hush among insiders in the
entertainment industry. Since late last week, it had become official; two of Nigeria's foremost singers, Tuface Idibia and D'banj have, for the first time, featured on the same song.
Curiously, it took newcomer, Kas, of the Fimile fame to achieve this rare feat. The two music stars were paired in the remix of Kas' chart-topping song, Fimile. Noteworthy is that aside typically chanting his File! refrain without restraint, D'banj, rediscovers his famous harmonica which had not featured in his songs in recent time while Tuface adds spice and intensity to an otherwise intense song.
In a chat with E-Punch, Kas says it was a big honour and privilege for him to have pulled this off because "both of them are stars. Tuface is a legend; one of the biggest musicians in Africa. I respect him so much. He is humble and down-to-earth. D'banj is also very big; a force to be reckoned with and doesn't take nonsense but equally very humble."
Describing how the idea of a remix began, Kas said he met Tuface and broached the idea to him which he welcomed gladly. D'banj did not prove any hard to get either. Thus, the remix.
Like he sings in Fimile, Kas, real names, Kas Jonathan Shobayo, is indeed a Yoruba native from Ogun State though his first visit to Nigeria was in 2005.
In his short, eventful stint in the industry, Kas who fondly calls himself Kas beats, has emerged as one of the fastest rising singers and beat makers with an increasing catalogue of hit songs...
