He talks about the Grammys 2017, saying he doesn’t always look at the award as the highest regard in music even though most people do.

Then at about the seventh minute mark of the interview, when asked about the impact of the current American political climate had on his debut album “The Chief” which was released on February 17, 2016, Jidenna replied that he is actually happy this is happening right now.

It doesn’t change me, I already have a vision of what I want the world to look like regardless of the president, I did put certain things in the album but I don’t make music that is overtly political all the time,or “conscious”, Jidenna says.

At the 23 minute mark, he delves in more on the album. “On 'The Chief', there’s all these stories of trials and tribulations of me kind of discovering myself as a man, what it means for me to be a man, what it means for me to be a chief in the modern day, and you’ll see, in the midst of it is an African diaspora story,” Jidenna explains, referencing his African- American and Caribbean roots.

“When you buy this album, you’re changing society, you’re buying into a new lifestyle, that’s what "The Chief" is about,” Jidenna remarked finally about the album.
