The young entrepreneur- cum- musician told Showbiz that after a long period working in the music industry, his business partner A1 Keys advised him to work on some tracks upon discovering that Wrapper Saint has a good rap flow.
“I have always been a rapper, but I did not take it seriously until I sat down with A1 who advised me to take it seriously”, he said. Wrapper Saint, who has helped out and managed a number of young musicians such as Fio- Matt Halla and Wiz K, said he would be taking a small break as an executive producer and to focus on his new found talent, rap.
“I will be working on the administration side but at the moment I just want push my music,” he told Showbiz. His new track Gabs City, which was released early this month, features New Age Kid, an upcoming rapper. A1 Keys produced the track.
