SJ: Oh wonderful! what should we be expecting from you in the next soon to come days?
Jeggs: I’m working on series of projects which I wouldn’t want to talk about in details till they unfold, one of such is “Project Shine” which tends to create a platform which enables young artist who can’t afford a quality production fee get a free one year production deal, it’s my little way to support the AK Music Industry coz I know how it felt when I had to save all I had to record my first studio single 2010. Me and my team are on deck working tirelessly, so I’ll be dropping a video soon, couple of songs, there is much to expect though cuz I have been signing series of contracts lately all I pray is for His grace to execute all that I have in stock.
