For Nana, every project represents a chapter in an ongoing story. During his latest visit to Home Grown Radio, the Crenshaw District artist sat down with Chuck Dizzle and Miss Bliss to discuss his newest release, Internet Killed The Superstar, a project that examines how technology, social media, and changing consumer habits have transformed the way artists create, release, and market music. Throughout the conversation, Nana explained how the project intentionally mirrors today’s fast-moving internet culture, from shorter song lengths to the broader themes explored throughout the album.
The conversation also revisited Nana’s journey through the music industry, including his time signed to RCA Records under Archie Davis. Reflecting on that era, Nana shared how valuable it was to have someone in a position of power genuinely believe in his vision, while also learning that signing a deal is only the beginning of the work. He emphasized that relationships, character, and consistency have been just as important to his growth as talent itself. Those lessons continue to guide him today as he navigates the industry on his own terms and embraces the growing shift toward artist independence.
One of the most memorable moments came when a 2012 email surfaced showing Nana—then performing under the name “Blasion Maven”—submitting music to Chuck years before the two would develop a relationship. The discovery served as a reminder of how long the journey has been and how much growth has occurred along the way. Nana also spoke about reconnecting with his roots during recent trips to Ghana, where fans recognized him overseas and embraced both his music and his heritage. As he looks toward another project and more international travel before the year’s end, Nana continues to build a career rooted in authenticity, innovation, and storytelling.
