I make the records and I make the pictures. Sometimes both at once. I don't just talk culture.

On a self tape, the reader matters more than the camera. A reader shouting lines right beside the mic makes the actor sound small and the scene sound fake. Reader off mic, quieter than the actor, standing next to the lens for eyeline. Casting hears a bad reader first.

First cameras arrive after skipped outings and the same two shirts on rotation.

Quantize a shaker to 100 percent and the groove dies. So much of the bounce in Afrobeats lives in percussion sitting a few milliseconds behind the grid while the kick stays locked. Nudge the shaker late, leave the kick alone, and the same loop starts to walk.

On vertical video the app covers your frame. Captions, buttons and the username eat the bottom fifth and a strip down the right side. Frame product so the logo, the face and the price sit in the upper middle. Brands still park the best detail right where the like button lands.

Plenty of producers on the charts today learned on a cracked FL Studio and a laptop with a broken hinge. Plenty of editors learned off YouTube, videos downloaded on the midnight data plan. Talent was never the scarce part. Access was. Any studio that lets a kid sit in on a session is doing the real work.

Design your packaging for the dispatch bike, not the unboxing video. In rainy season a mailer can spend an hour in a box on the back of a bike on Ikorodu Road. Waterproof poly mailer, garment sealed in its own bag inside, card last. A soggy hoodie undoes the whole brand.
