Band History:
I am a "South Bronx, New York" brought up (Nigerian born) Rapper/Lyricist/Song Writer, currently residing in London, UK. I have been actively rapping and writing lyrics since 1992. I am currently working on my debut album compilation proposed to be entitled "Da Game Is Mine", which is projected to consist of 15 - 21 tracks with guest appearances of some top notch underground producers (Namely - TRISTATE, Octo5/c_house1, AP DA GR8/4DOLO Productions, Chris Prthym and N1 Productions). The album is intended to cover a broad range of music tastes (from the raw east coast underground sound - the west coast bangism - Dirty South crankism - Afro Centrism - Gospel etc). In addition to this I am also a sound arrangement producer, law graduate and am currently in the process of completing a Masters Degree in Entertainment Law. What makes me stand out as a Hip hop Artiste or any type of Artiste is the fact that I am widely travelled and have been privilige to live in 3 different continents. Hence, I have a global perspective on life which also reflects on the type of songs I create. My objective is to reach a global audinence without compromising my artistic qualities
