Power’ came in August. February 2014, ‘Empire’ ended. That whole time, I was like, ‘You know what, let me just take a break from this and focus on music’ so in that time period, I did my whole EP. Got the single ‘Lotto.’ Rotimi Read Quote
Empire’ was already given its green light. I was like, ‘Alright, this makes perfect sense. They wouldn’t be going this hard on me if I didn’t have it.’ So it was last minute when I learned, you know, it’s a business decision. That was my fault. Rotimi Read Quote
I got ‘Power’ on my own through my agent and my team. I didn’t know 50 until I got on the show. Because my character is so close to his, we spent a lot of time as friends. But even in that, I didn’t really bring up music to him because I saw how everybody else was bringing up music to him. Rotimi Read Quote
I like the purity of telling stories now because not a lot of people are telling stories in their music. I wanna tell my specific story: what I see right now. Rotimi Read Quote
