#YNaijaTwitterInterview: @AramideMusic is there a dearth of people that enjoy this music? Has that been a challenge for you?
— Y! Online #WorldCup (@YNaija) January 24, 2017
Initially.
But These days we are getting there.A lot of acceptance on the Suitcase album and that just gives me hope https://t.co/rbUjgpwRmP— Aramide (@AramideMusic) January 24, 2017
#YNaijaTwitterInterview: @AramideMusic so do you reckon the Suitcase album's a success? Did it do as well as you hoped for… or better?
— Y! Online #WorldCup (@YNaija) January 24, 2017

#YNaijaTwitterInterview: @AramideMusic so how does one describe this influence. What is in this town – Jos that does it exactly? ?

These Musican. So it was easy to learn, make mistakes and get it right. https://t.co/e5aUVKyxoX

#YNaijaTwitterInterview: @AramideMusic how has that worked so far.. making your music more appealing; features?
— Y! Online #WorldCup (@YNaija) January 24, 2017
You can say features. But I'd say that it started with being more open minded with my producers and just getting better with my craft https://t.co/imUAMGDnS3

For me it is an icing on the cake. If they come fine, if they don't fine too. When you have a 9-5 you get paid a salary right? But 1/2 https://t.co/nPzebkgyYG
