Imo State born musician, Kingsley Elikpo otherwise
called Zeez is making a comeback to the music scene he
dominated some years ago with the release of his new
single, ‘Atewo’ featuring rapper Olamide .
However, despite the stiff competition in the industry,
he has said he’s not afraid of anyone.
The singer, who used to be called DJ Zeez, said he
embarked on a deliberate hiatus from the music to study
some courses but which are not music related in any
way.
Speaking on his new collaboration with Olamide in a
recent interview with Punch, he said: ‘I collaborated
with Olamide because we are from the same hood-
Bariga, alongside 9ice, Reminisce and Lord of Ajasa . It
is my first collaboration in many years. I wanted to
identify with my Bariga fans, who have been disturbing
and clamouring for collaboration from us. The feedback
has been awesome. Atewo means clap. It is a
celebratory song for people doing well in different walks
of life.’
Speaking on the new level of competition in the music
industry now, Zeez said, ‘If you are a player in a non-
competitive industry, it is best to leave it fast. Yes, the
industry is a lot better now compared to when I began.
The social media hype, which a lot of artistes including
me, now enjoy, was non-existent at the time. What
matters most is constantly rebuilding and reevaluating
oneself to keep moving with the times because change
is the only constant thing. Competition only makes me a
better. Artistes like Davido and Olamide, are no threat to
me.’
The music act, who is now known simply as Zeez, went
on to add that he is only scared of not being
remembered for his contributions.
‘I am afraid of not being remembered for who I was or
impact I made. That is why I try to be a perfectionist in
all my dealings. I do not try to imitate any artiste
because it is not all about having hit tracks or
endorsements but about having a genuine talent and
passion for music.’
