The release deliberately merges his flamboyant showmanship with the technical skill of his producer alias, <strong>Rii<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Pheelz described the project as a direct expression of his internal emotions following a transformative period. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve gone through a defining moment in my life and I feel like the music interprets that as well,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like \u2018A Rii Set\u2019 is a direct representation of my internal emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed gratitude for the support surrounding the release. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to God, grateful to the fans for sticking with me, grateful to the media, grateful to Apple for always showing support and love,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t take anything lightly or for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Early Musical Awakening<\/h2>\n<p>Pheelz traced his connection to music back to a childhood experience at age five, when he wandered into an adult church service and observed how worship could shift people\u2019s emotional states. \u201cI saw in real time how music can control emotions and elevate people out of their worries and anxiety and fear,\u201d he recalled. \u201cFrom a very young age, I understood the power that music has to raise vibrations and the importance of that in human life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His father, a preacher, initially resisted the idea of a secular music career. That stance softened after a dream in which angels appeared and instructed him to allow his son to follow his path. \u201cThey\u2019re like, you have to let this kid go because we got this kid, we\u2019ll protect him. This is his mission, this is his path,\u201d Pheelz recounted.<\/p>\n<p>The practical entry point came through artist <strong>Maye Hunta<\/strong>, known for the hit \u201cEkaette,\u201d who visited Pheelz\u2019s father for counseling. Pheelz gave him a CD of beats and songs he had produced on his brother\u2019s computer using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.image-line.com\/fl-studio\/\">FruityLoops<\/a>. Months later, Maye Hunta had played the material for producer <strong>ID Cabasa<\/strong>, who was looking for an intern. After his father relented, Pheelz took the internship and met <strong>Olamide<\/strong>, forging a creative partnership that continues today.<\/p>\n<h2>Inside the Tracks<\/h2>\n<p>The song <strong>\u201cI\u2019M OK\u201d<\/strong> featuring <strong>Tiwa Savage<\/strong> originated from Pheelz\u2019s personal mantra. \u201cThat\u2019s what I tell myself anytime I go through crazy stuff,\u201d he explained, emphasizing his belief in the power of positive affirmations. \u201cIf you say something over and over, it affects your feelings and that creates your reality of being okay.\u201d He intended the track to let listeners repeat the phrase and elevate their own vibration.<\/p>\n<p>On <strong>\u201cDIRTY DIANA RHYTHM\u201d<\/strong>, Pheelz revealed that Dirty Diana is his guitar, a core instrument in his creative process. \u201cWe make love, that\u2019s what we do, Dirty Diana and I. We invite our fans to listen while we make love,\u201d he said. He noted that the phrase \u201cDirty Diana, bami ba won soro\u201d from last year\u2019s track <strong>\u201cJamming\u201d<\/strong> had gained significant traction on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>The project also includes the nostalgia-laced <strong>\u201cGONGO ASO\u201d<\/strong>, rounding out a body of work that Pheelz treats as an outlet for self-expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pheelz details the concept behind his latest project \u2018A Rii Set\u2019 and shares insights into his creative journey in an
