MY MUSICAL TALENT IS IN-BORN – TADE ADEPOJU AKA LASGIIDI
CAN WE MEET YOU?
I am Tade Adepoju by real name but popularly known as LASGIIDI, am an Afro hip hop Artist, I am actually based in Texas, the United States of America. I have been in Nigeria to push my music right now and create more awareness on my other songs and career.
HOW DID YOU VENTURED INTO MUSIC?
I have always grown up around music from birth and this has led me knowing more till now, but then, I am still learning.
YOU SOUND MORE LIKE AN AMERICAN?
Yes, like I told you, I am based in Texas in the US and am very much used to their culture and general ways of life.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU INTO MUSIC?
Basically my experience in life is the things I see around me, the reality of life, and the things down there on the streets.
SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN INTO MUSIC, HOW HAS IT BEEN?
It has been rigorous, every challenge is for a better future, I have enjoyed every part of it, like the sweat, tears and blood.
BEEN SOMEONE THAT IS BASED IN AMERICA, HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONNECTION WITH CELEBRITIES OVER THERE?
Not yet, I am still underground over there, but here in Nigeria we just dropped one album last week Friday, we are also working with Phyno and some other top artistes. You know, it is not all about money but their love for the sounds.

Yes, very well I was here last year August and I came straight from the airport to perform at the African Shrine.
WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES SO FAR?
Challenges, to be honest the only challenges in Nigeria is the traffic gridlock popularly known as ‘GO SLOW’. In America, Africa music is kind of hard something like “Monkey they work, Baboon they chop” they do not understand you because they believe in the white skin and when you are black, they will just be looking at you like wetin this boy they yarn. It feels better to be with my people that can understand me.

It is a spiritual thing, God just put me in it and I know it is my call, once you are doing good and you are imparting peoples’ lives through what you are doing, you will always be inspired by the Almighty God. Additionally, I inherited my talent from my family.

Maybe once upon a time, I cannot even remember that time
