Frank Ocean expressed his admiration for Uzowuru’s evolving musical vocabulary and their collaborative synergy. “Me and Michael’s careers exist post-hip hop — that genre, that culture, informs both of us greatly. But his appetite has grown; his vocabulary, musically, has grown so much over the time that I’ve known him,” Ocean shared. He also mentioned that Uzowuru, along with Rick Rubin, is someone he turns to when facing writer’s block. “Michael is a friend I talk to about where I’m at artistically very often,” Ocean added.

Uzowuru reciprocated the sentiment, highlighting the deep personal bond they share beyond their professional work. “I couldn’t love him or care about him more. I’m very grateful for him as a person outside of the work, so it doesn’t matter if we work. I don’t need to work with him, because it’s so much bigger. He’s separate from everyone else. He’s family,” Uzowuru said.

As fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in Frank Ocean’s musical career, the collaboration with Michael Uzowuru promises to deliver the innovative and soulful sounds they have come to love.
