Navio - MAD (Official Video)
Artiste: Navio
Produced by Mio Made
Written by Navio, Yese Oman Raki & Flex D'Paper
Studio: Icon Studios (Uganda)
Label: Navcorp
Navio begun his career in the underground scene in the battle clubs of Johannesburg. Mio Made carved out a name as one
of the hardest Hip Hop producers of the day. However, with the growth of their Icon Studios project, their abilities and
versatility have grown exponentially.
As Mio played through some chords in the studio after recording their monster Hip Hop song “Gang”, the humming of a
Navio standing nearby soon developed into words. When Flex d’Paper walked in, the format for “Mad” the anthem was born.
Only one element was missing from the smooth tune that would ground the song and give it gravitas. In walks one of
Uganda’s greatest writers Yese Oman Raki to close out some Luganda bars before Navio came back in to seal the tune with a
signature freestyle verse.
It would be one of the only projects on the album where like in the days of ‘African Hustler Music’- none of the writers
actually wrote. This helped to give the song a natural free owing vibe that has been synonymous with the “Vibes Out The
East” Album.
With a smash hit in the bag it was time to venture further aeld. Indonesia, Bali is renowned for its welcoming personality
and being one of the most scenic landscapes on God’s green earth. With a beautiful production to match- the Navcorp team,
alongside Sasha Vybz and our own ground team led by Wayan Rodesh allowed us to create a truly scenic video unlike has
even been featured in Uganda before.
The location was Soulshine- the premiere sound and wellness resort in the world and this allowed for the vision to be
complete.
