he says there is about 4 members only missing from there
 he talked about his friendship with jb since school  and the path to making it to quartier latin
and about academia he says until today he regrets,many of them were against their return to DRC except a couple of them and he kind of indirectly mimicks somono's voice  and says that the staffs of each of them greatly contributed  to their return to europe becoming a mess already,the label secteur a wanted them to "ignore" drc and become a full time franco-african group working mainly in france and its islands and in other countries of africa  and he did not really mind it but the influence around to go to kinshasa and prove a point to other groups was too strong

How do you think they would have performance as a Franco African group? Could they have reached the level of Maitre Gins? Or 113 or Wati B?

not that far i think but they definitely could have done a thing,i think it happened at  the "wrong" moment,its true that were lucky to be in that first " wave" of french people of african and carribean origin finally having place in french music with a strong influence of music from their roots,but this current " second wave" is way stronger,on congolese alone you can spend hours naming all the "from congo" talents being the core of french music now

I respect Sam and I’m a huge fan of his but dude needs to stop lying about Academia, he always says he was against the recruitment of the singers and then going back to kin. But everyone else always says it was his and Somono’s idea, even if you watch old Academia footage from their return to kin all the way till the split you can see Sam was hell bent on becoming the sole leader.

I’m surprised that it took them 44 days to record viagra compared to sanction which took them 11 days, no wonder why viagra came out late.

yes him buying into the "yaya tala ba masta na yo werra na jb ndenge bakoma bango kaka ba grand leader" thing  played a big role
but i like the way he's made a limited group now,thats less money issues potentially,especially as sam also earns money outside music

What does he makes outside of music?

he runs a company along with bouro and one of their friends,so his life is half office half music

I heard that he also works in Socoda
