According to Terri, working under Wizkid’s bosom was a dream come true, he said “From the beginning of Wizkid’s career till now he is my idol. Before anyone knew he would be this big, he has been my idol. Working with him has been a dream come true. I did a cover for one of Wizkid’s songs, shortly after, I got a message from one of his producers, Legendary Mutay, that he liked what I did with the song. He said that they have seen my freestyle and wanted to work with me. I did not know I would work with Wizkid”

In brevity, been signed into Starboy Entertainment was a favor Terri deserved as he vehemently worked for it.

In his words:

“It’s me thinking about where I’m coming from, acknowledging my growth, and getting closer to my goals; I went through the previous year investigating various sounds and sharpening my specialty – this venture is a record of that imaginative excursion, as well as my own excursion going through the various feelings of adoration, connections, and sentiment. ‘In Transit’ is a progress from where I was artistically, to where I am currently, and where I’m going. It’s me pondering what I’m accustomed to, recognizing my development, and drawing nearer to my objectives”.

Not just that, the other five tracks confess the pace, elation, and sensation felt by the singer in love and romance.
