Reminisce then clarifies, "Errrrm... Me, personally, no, it doesn't. I just try to do what I should do and what I can do. At every point in Nigerian music history, there are people who will be pioneers. Say for the modern rap game, you have Ruggedman, Modenine and co as pioneers.
"For our side of the map, Lord of Ajasa, Olamide, myself... For the popstars, you have Wiz, David... For the new school, you would have someone like Ckay... I can't be under pressure, I can only do what I can do and hope for the best."
