Speaking about why he had to take a step back from music, Sean Tizzle said:

SEAN TIZZLE: Well, for me I would just say it’s life basically. You know just like life, it’s like you can’t always be linear. Road no straight you know, maybe for Naija everything na just straight road but in the proper sense you understand, everything is not straight. Because if e too straight, e no go make sense, the zigzag is the beauty of it. So regardless of whatever happened in the past, because I can’t even remember if anything happened basically. I was supposed to drop an album a couple of years back, then spoke to somebody, a painter actually. He painted a lot of works, and we were having this discussion when he said, “this is art.” So sometimes you have to take your time with it. Whenever I’m working with a producer the first thing I tell you is, you have to put your mind in this shit, because this is what you use to feed your family for the rest of your life. So you have to get better bread, and let’s do what we have to do. If we have to take our time and have a lot of this, you know songs to look into, and say okay we are good to go.

Yeah it’s kind of crazy; I hear that like all the time. But for me, the thing is I just needed to step back. I was just working on myself basically because in life, you have to gain knowledge everyday. So, I was just unlearning some things and learning some new things, talking about everything because, they say “slow success builds character”, and fast success is just going to give you some ego and all that. So, it’s not just the working part and at the same time working on yourself as a person and that’s one thing I’m most excited about. The fact that you know I get better by the day and at the same time, putting in that work. And waiting for, you know, the right moment. The right moment sometimes isn’t just about that. You have to build up to it, even if it’s going to take time. Like they say, I’m all about hard work, dedication and patience. And the right time that I was talking about is like having the right people around you as well, the right mind, the right team as well and you know just basically wait for the right time.
