One of Nigeria’s biggest street music exploit Bella Shmurda joins LootLove via FaceTime Apple Africa Music Radio Now 1 to talk about his latest track, “Far Away”. He also discusses how his new EP, High Tension 2.0, reflects his journey of survival, how Nigeria’s street sounds have evolved and bloomed—and pays homage to those artists who have paved the way. 
Bella Shmurda on what High Tension 2.0 represents; ‘High Tension 2.0,’ I feel it’s like me. It’s very intentional like me. I’m intentional. That’s what I call myself. Against all odds, you’re still surviving. Against all against you could strike, you could penetrate. Against all odds you could be the light. And that’s Bella Shmurda. And that’s what High Tension 2.0 is representing.
Bella Shmurda also speaks about paving the way from other street music exponents while giving a shout-out to Olamide for opening the big doors for him: Shout out to Olamide Baddo first of all. Right now, well I have one of those good guys, I have Seyi Vibez. Shout out to Seyi Vibez he’s a good one. So I think if I would do any I will do for people I know.
