Over the weekend, our team embarked on an exciting adventure to Crush Rock, Mpape, a vibrant district in Abuja, Nigeria, to shoot the much-anticipated music video for Zikky Man's song titled: Old Time Religion. Known for its stunning landscapes and lively cultural backdrop, Mpape provided the perfect setting for our creative endeavor.

Our day started early, as we gathered at the designated location. The sun was just rising, casting a beautiful golden hue over the rugged terrain, which perfectly complemented the energy of Zikky Man’s music. As we set up our equipment, excitement buzzed through the air, and it was clear that everyone was eager to bring this vision to life.

Zikky Man, arrived shortly after, full of enthusiasm. His charismatic personality immediately lit up the atmosphere. He shared his vision for the video, emphasizing the importance of showcasing Mpape's unique culture and scenery. With the support of a talented crew—cameramen, directors, and dancers—we began to orchestrate the shoot.

The first scene featured Zikky Man against the stunning backdrop of the Mpape hills, their rugged beauty highlighting the essence of his song. As he performed, local residents joined in, dancing and celebrating, capturing the spirit of community that Mpape is known for. We also incorporated local artisans and street vendors, who added authenticity to the shoot, making it a true representation of the area.

Throughout the day, we encountered minor challenges—equipment malfunctions and unpredictable weather—but the passion of the team and Zikky Man’s positive energy kept everyone motivated. With each take, we felt the magic of the music infuse the environment, creating a dynamic atmosphere.

As the sun began to set, we wrapped up the day’s shoot, exhausted but exhilarated. Mpape had cast its spell on us, and we were eager to see how the final video would come together, combining Zikky Man’s artistry with the district's vibrant essence.

In conclusion, this weekend in Mpape was not just about filming; it was a celebration of music, culture, and community. We look forward to sharing the final product and hope it resonates with fans and viewers alike, showcasing the beauty of Nigeria through Zikky Man's incredible talent.
