Coded Tunes.
In 2002, ID Cabasa had formed the label Coded Tunes, then collaborated with 2phat, Lord of Ajasa and MC Spakoto form a clique called, The Smiling Head Soldier which was headed by 2phat. Furthermore, they had different music squads coming over to the studio to make music with them, this squad was massive at the time, and they were called, Yabtown Squad which was where "Reminisce" originated from. It was a clique of both rappers and singers and some of them were Cabasa’s juniors in secondary school. From vibing and creating music, they decided to create something larger than being a Smiling Head Soldier or Yabtown Squad, remembering the name of the studio that brought them together was Coded Tunes. So, that was how the label Coded Tunes started.
