We’ve been giving 60 Wrap$$’s latest track “Dianne” a lot of airplay on Phoenix FM recently – and we caught up with him to talk about his love of music and his inspirations.
Tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m Emeka Paschal Edeh, AKA Emi, better known by my stage name 60 Wrap$$. I’m an entertainer, rapper, record producer, and actor.
When did you first start to develop a passion for music?
When I was 4 years old. I started dancing and going for shows, joining the boy scouts at the age of 10. I became a Hip Hop/Rap R&B/Soul/Rock Artist and an actor when I was 16 years old, and wrote an epic film which went for script conference and was accepted with the help of late Sam Loco Ife.
Which artists did you listen to while growing up?
Fela Kuti, Lucky Dube, Toni Braxton and lots more.
How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard you before?
Happy energetic songs, mostly lyrical, and now settling on reggaeton/dancehall only because I can release and express myself more.
What music have you recorded and released to date?
In 2015 I released my first album “Synopsis” under Sunset Urban Records USA. I followed this up with “Jamisoke” in 2016, “Goodluvin and Dope” in 2017 and “Whine For Me” in 2018.
My “7 Dice” EP came out last year and my current tracks Dianne, Baby Wire Me and Work And Play are dropping on March 13 2020.
Which artists do you enjoy listening to at the moment?
Pitbull.
Who would your dream collaboration be with?
Any of Pitbull, Post Malone, Beyonce or Eminem.
What are your plans for the future?
I have a lot of plans – I just let God order my footsteps.
