CKN Nigeria: Who is Uzikwendu?

UZI: Uzi is a collected, fun loving, business minded & goal oriented type of guy. I am from Imo state, I was born in London, but I was raised in Nigeria till I was 18 then I moved to New York to attend college.

CKN Nigeria: At what point did u develop interest in rap music and what or who influenced that interest?

UZI: When I was about ten or eleven i travelled a lot with my dad whom at that time had a lot to do with traditional type of music and dancing, so from listening, watching and participating I guess it influenced me a lot.

CKN Nigeria: Did your family support you when you started? How about now?

UZI: I have a wonderful family, God rest my father’s soul but I thank GOD because I got all the support and encouragement I need from them.

CKN Nigeria: You are the fastest Rapper in Africa! I stand to be corrected!!Ur Rap style is different! What or who is ur inspiration and how do u rap so fast without biting your tongue?

UZI:*Hahaha!! Biting my tongue? Thats funny, that's never happened to me when i am rapping but funny enough its happened when I am eating. My rapping fast is just one side of who I am, I also rap slow & sing.

CKN Nigeria:Which artistes will u like to work with internationally and locally? and why?
UZI: Busta Rhymes ,Eminem , Akon, Tuface, Tiwa Savage, Sound Sultan, Eldee & any other very good & fantastic artiste.

CKN Nigeria: Hmmmm! What has been your highest and lowest point in music so far and what lessons did u get from those experiences

UZI: My highest point was when I got on stage & the crowd was singing my songs and the moral of the story was "keep doing good music and as for my lowest hmmmmmn"!! Well I did something I shouldn’t have done, I performed a song that I just recorded and I hadn't practiced it, wow!! When I got on stage I didn’t remember all the words! Even though many did not notice, It was still my lowest point and I learnt my lesson! Lol

CKN Nigeria: The track 'Osiso' meaning faster in Ibo is very addictive!! Do u think impatience is a virtue? Are u an impatient person like the title suggests?

UZI: Not at all o!! lol. I am a very patience guy. I play chess& you got to have a lot of patience to win a chess game. I also do a lot of meditating. Good things come to you when you wait patiently but “OSISO” speaks a lot for itself if you know what i mean..lol!

CKN Nigeria: Thanks for Your Time
