Welcome to this week’s Indie Artist Music hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Producer and artist 705 takes us on a fascinating journey through his musical evolution, from his childhood in Lagos, Nigeria to becoming a rising star in London's vibrant music scene. With a sound he describes as "Afrofusion," 705 seamlessly blends hip-hop, R&B, and Afrobeats to create something uniquely personal yet universally appealing.
"It's a fusion of everything," he explains, detailing how Western influences like Biggie Smalls and 112 mesh with African icons like Fela Kuti in his music. This cultural hybridity shines through in tracks like "Filmtrick," where English rap meets Yoruba lyrics over infectious production. What stands out most is 705's commitment to musical authenticity in an increasingly artificial landscape. When discussing the rise of AI in music creation, he stands firm: "The human mind is smarter than AI. AI is supposed to help you, not do it for you."
Throughout our conversation, 705 shares valuable insights about the music industry – from his preference for genuine collaborations over paid features to the evolving importance of visual branding. His business philosophy echoes that of his musical hero 50 Cent, focusing on longevity and authentic storytelling. "Music should have a purpose," he insists. "You shouldn't just make noise in people's ears."
As 705 prepares to release new summer-ready tracks that further explore his Afrofusion sound with Yoruba rap elements, it's clear we're witnessing an artist who honors his roots while boldly pushing forward. Find his music on all streaming platforms under "705" and follow his journey on social media @705beats.
