In this VladTV exclusive, "Classic Man" Jidenna sits down to discuss where he grew up, how he got into music, and when he hooked up with "The Electric Lady" Janelle Monae and her Wondaland label.
Jidenna starts off by telling Vlad that he was "conceived in Nigeria," born in Wisconsin, and would later move back to Nigeria as a toddler. He also briefly discusses being born to a Nigerian father and a White (Scottish, Irish and German) mother, before delving into his numerous moves across the United States before he settled in the Bay Area for college.
The "Yoga" emcee discloses that his rapper beginnings started at around 12 years old and how about two years later he began producing. The 29-year-old then shares the story about how he and Janelle Monae became close friends during the "MySpace Era," and how her appearance at his team's masquerade ball led to their partnership on Wondaland and Epic Records.
