Much loved Nigerian music mogul, Don Jazzy, has now opened up on what it is like managing a number of young musicians in the industry.
During a recent interview with Nigerian tech guru, Fisayo Fosudo, the MAVIN Records boss spoke on how he has to be strategic with when his artistes drop a song.

You will have to move your date
Also in the interview, Don Jazzy said that he might have planned to release his artiste’s music on a particular day only to discover Wizkid or Asake is set to release on the same day. According to him, he will have to move his own date to avoid the natural death of the project.
In his words:
“You can want to come out this Friday now and Machala is coming out that day, you will have to move your date because you don’t want to just die a natural death, or Asake is dropping, you have to move your date, you have to move to another day.”
