Why I named my daughter Island is because I feel my baby is special and an Island is a land in the middle of water and I feel she came from a different space so I chose to give her that beautiful name ‘Island’” Medikal told YFM.

He said his upcoming extended play, dubbed “Island”, was named in honour of his daughter Island Frimpong.

“The Island EP was because of my baby,” he revealed. “We named my baby before she even came out. So, she is the person who inspired the ‘EP’ Island. So, she is the reason why I put out the album EP. The EP is not the reason why I named my baby ‘Island’” he added.

The “Island EP” which is already out features youngsters like Kwesi Slay, Armani, Kevin Fianko, Ahtitude and many more.
