Why I sampled hit songs in new album – D’banj

Popular singer, D’banj, renowned for his electrifying stage presence has revealed the motivation behind sampling some of his hits songs in his latest album titled, ‘The Entertainer D’ Sequel’.

During an exclusive boat cruise album listening experience, D’banj told Saturday Beats, “Most of my albums came out before the digital era; that’s why I went back and sampled some of my hits.

“As the 20-year anniversary of my debut was getting closer, pressure set in, so I knew that I needed to finish that album by December last year but it didn’t work, so the others were created in January and February.”

The singer added that ‘Serious’ an Afropop version of Busta Rhymes’ Dangerous is the oldest song on the album.

Other tracks include ‘Kala’ featuring Awilo Logomba, ‘I Am Legend’ with Wyclef Jean, ‘Healer’ featuring Peruzzi, ‘Koko Remix’ with Akon, ‘Yours Truly’ with Phyno, and ‘Worthy’ featuring Youssou N’dour and other songs.
