Iconic music executive and record label owner, Kenny ‘Keke’ Ogungbe, has revealed how he started working with the late music producer and artist, OJB Jezreel to produce African Queen.
Baba Keke, as he’s fondly called, made this revelation while speaking as a guest on a podcast recently.
He disclosed that he picked interest in OJB when he heard a diss song he had produced for an artist.
“There was a record that dissed me and the person who produced the record was OJB Jezreel,” he explained. “The record dissed me and the beat was fantastic. I went to Cool FM and Chris Obosi said this record dissed you and I looked at it and checked who produced it but they used a black object to cover the producer’s name, apparently he doesn’t want to be known for that project. I put the stuff to the light and I saw it, produced by OJB Jezreel.
“I got home, got his number and called him. I told him I had a new artist that I wanted him to work with and that was how we created African Queen.”
