M.I made this known while fielding questions at the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards announcement event at Cova Lounge, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The rapper however, noted the collaboration was not for financial gains as they're part of his efforts at connecting the young African audience to the older generation of African musicians.
"I think we have done great in terms of creating a vibrant modern African music scene and the young audience really connects with that, but it would really be great to be able to connect the young audience with the older generation of African musicians", the 'chairman' said.
M.I further stated that "Africa has such a rich musical history and it would be a shame to lose part of that history. My next ambition is to connect the younger audience with this older generation of African musicians".
The 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards supported by Absolut will take place at the International Convention Centre (ICC) of Kwazulu-Natal Province of Durban, South Africa, on July 18
