Sarz shared how a dream he had of Fela inspired the making of Wizkid’s “Jaiye Jaiye” beat.
Wizkid released Jaiye Jaiye featuring Femi Kuti in 2013 as the lead single from his second studio album, Ayo and the song was produced by Sarz.
A fan asked what inspired the jaiye Jaiye beat and Sarz narrated how it happened,
I had a dream I was with Fela and he was schooling me about the spirituality of music. Deep in our conversation, someone started knocking gben gben gben I was like “who is that?” The person knocked again gbim gbim gbim.
The story didn’t end there, he continued with,
I opened the door and it was Wizkid. He said when you wake up add this gben gben and gbim gbim to a beat and send it to me. I woke up and the rest was history.
