Meet 4runner (@4_runner116) ! The rapper other rappers warned you about. Spankz Online connects with the fast rising rapper on just a short chat, Pretty sure you guys would love to know whats up with what we talked about. Enjoy...
What’s Good bro?
i'm doing great bro
Can you brief us a little bit about
yourself actually, family background, school and all that?
well my real name is Miraculous Nwaka, born to a father who
is from Delta state and mother who is from Adamawa. i was born in Lagos state
and grew up mostly in Lagos. i attended many primary schools due to the nature
of my Dad's work, because he is a pastor but i did my secondary school
education in Faith Academy and attended Covenant University.
How did you come about the name
4RUNNER?
well before the name 4runner i tried coming up with
different stage names like Mysteri, G-cat... but i actually had to pray about a
name and i ended up with 4runner which symbolises announcing the kings love and
setting the pace which i am gradually working towards
How has the summer been for you and
your music?
well it has been awesome, promoting the music has been great
and i have been getting a lot of positive feedback which gives me joy knowing
that i was able to serve the listening audience.
And for how long now have you been on
microphone, (the music industry/the rap game)?
i would say i took it seriously when i was in secondary
school, i was part of a rap group called G-hood and we performed at most of our
social nights. so i would say from the age of fourteen i got serious with the
mic
How has the road been so far till
date?
it has been one of growing in my knowledge about music and
developing myself to make better music and perform better on stages
Any major challenge slowing down the
pace of things?
well a major challenge was school, having to drop the music
when it was time for school and then dust my note pad when it was time for a
vacation but i'm a graduate now so that should not be a problem anymore
So what actually motivates you to go
through the hustle?
sometimes my life experiences, some great people around me
plus the ones that have succeeded and the future i see
You just released a mix tape
recently, The infiltration, can you tell us the whole spirit or say ginger
behind the mix tape?
well the infiltration EP is meant to act as a pushing
factor, the solution to the worlds problem is people, people like you, those
reading the interview and me. The whole theme behind the EP is moving out of
your comfort zone to make a difference because there is no fun in the comfort
zone
Any previous mix tape before this?
yeah i released one on my graduation day from secondary
school, it was titled "Stand up" and it had five songs
So what’s your favorite track on your
own EP, I mean “The Infiltration”?
Lol wow that is a tough one because the different songs
speak to me differently but i would say i have 3 favourite songs there;
Focused, New Sight and Nts freestyle.
Lol! If I may ask, Are you in anyway
related to Henrisoul?
at all man Lol we are just very good friends, one of my
friends first introduced us to each other and we were good to make good music
together. He is an awesome dude.
Heard you’re an eagle of covenant
university, how actually where you able to put music and academics together, as
well as other social stuff and still come out as strong as this?
well i devoted my holidays to making good music and
developing myself and when i was in school i focused fully on school work. so i
guess it was all about prioritising.
So, what artistes do you look forward
to working with as you grow, both locally and foreign?
Lol! We all know you’re
obviously going to go international sooner or later.
wow a lot, well locally i would like to work with Nneka,
Simi, and the rapper boogey. While internationally i would like to work with
Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Sarkodie and the producer Tyshane just to name a few.
So can you give us your top 5 rapper
list, locally and internationally?
well Locally, i would say M.I, Boogey, i might have to put
sarkodie in this section so Sarkodie, modenine and Eva. Internationally,
Lecrae, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Andy mineo, John Givez
Okay, and what sort of “EFFECT” do
you want to have on the music industry as a whole?
i want to do experimental music that would inspire musicians
in the industry to try something new.
Great idea, So what else should we be
expecting from 4Runner, since we all got the EP already?
after the Ep, a debut album, then another album and then a
mixtape by Gods grace.
Alright then, so any inspiring words
for the fans, freaks and upcoming rappers out there?
when you try to be different, you never really are alone, it
is only a matter of time before an army joins you so dare to lead by first
being a follower of people that can elevate you.
So Thank You very much, really
appreciate your time with us! Hope to see you there soon.
It is my pleasure. i am grateful.
