Good afternoon, how are you all doing today?

Good afternoon to you too, We’re dope, (laughs) we’re good

So before we begin, what are your individual names ?

Izzy_pro , kelvin, Odrea , CJ,

What brought about the name dope boys ?

Kelvin:

   it was my idea, I mean I like these guys, the way we talk, the way we dress everything about us, is dope so the name wasn’t really hard to come by. we’ve been friends for a long time,

So the name was inspired by the style the group has?

Kelvin:

Yes, basically

How did you guys  start music?

Odera:

Music, ok music? We’ve been doing music for a long time we’re still under a music group, Federation theater in the St.Jospeh the worker parish, Awka . so we’re under the group, under Federation theater which is “V.O.P” – voice of prophet , so from V.O.P the dope boyz  emerged

So how did you guys meet each other?

izzy_pro:

We all stayed in the same hostel, “Diamond  hostel” (laughs) the most f**ked up hostel in Awka, we were also in the same group in church so basically we have been family since day one.

How come it’s called Dimond hostel ?

izzy_pro :

Mehn forget the name oh, the place is horrible (laughing)

Are you guys still in school or are you guys graduates?

Cj:

We’re graduates ohh, thank God

What do the dope boyz see music as ?

Odera:

Its short and simple, Music is life, music is dope boyz

Complete this sentence, without music dope boys would be _________?

Odera:

Without music we would just be 4 idiots (LAUGHS) hanging out with each other

In the next 5 years what should we be expecting from dope boyz?

Cj:

Bringing home Grammies ohh,(laughs),

Kelvin:

Grammies? My brother I want to be realistic In the next 5 years I see dope boyz disturbing the Nigerian music industry. Asin you’ll see us everywhere?

How would you describe your music to an audience that have never heard your music before?

Kelvin:

While I’d say our music is indigenous and it’s original

What was your first experience with music like ?

Kelvin :

I hated this guy (laughing and pointing at izzy_pro) he was shy!!

Izzy_pro :

(smiles) we were always good on the mic but one of our problems was stage management, me for example I was shy like, all those eyes looking at me but now I’m over that, I’m getting better

How long have you been performing live?

Cj :

We’ve been performing in front of an audience since 2012,

Like the former music groups “style plus”, “plantation boys” do you see dope boyz splitting up in the near future or will you  be different form the rest ?

Odera:

(speaking pigin) Nawa ohh !!! bros we never start you come dey ask when we go split up, we’re not planning on splitting in the near future and even if we do, there will be no beef because we’ve been friends even before the music, and what ever happens dope boyz remain family

How did you guys feel winning the star emerging contest?

Kelvin :

mehn it was the bestest feeling mehn… I’m not sure that’s even a word (laughs), it’s like the first major win for us so winning the star emerging contest is a feeling we’ll never forget

Has it been a dream to work with jesse jagz ?

Izzy_pro:

My brother, dream is an understatement I dreamed it,  and now I’ve seen it

Kelvin :

I mean who doesn’t want to work with Jesse Jagz , the guy is crazy but he’s a very cool guy

So how do you guys plan on exploiting the project, seeing this is a big step in your career?

Odera:

Exploiting won’t be hard seeing that star is going to be taking care of our promotion but locally we are getting publicity with the help of our manager Henry chisom Ezikeoha

I watched the star trek and I didn’t see dope boyz performing why was that?, wasn’t that part of the prizes for winning the contest ?

Odera:

That was an annoying part when we got to find out that our performance wasn’t aired,

You performed and it wasn’t aired?

Odera:

Yes , HipTV went live 11pm and we had to perform before then because Sean Tizzle was there, M.I. and other big stars

What challenges are you currently having ?

Kelvin:

Recognition, and funds… we have a lot of projects on our hands and no means yet but we’ll get there

What should you fans expect form the dope boyz ?

Kelvin:

Expect nothing but the best and anticipate our song with jesse jagz, Kilofoshe dropping soon
