Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Bio
it all started in 1999 when c-drill met the duo of inferno &
mac iv. They formed a three man team, & adopted MIC- the first letters in their names, as their monika. They were performing in clubs & shows with other artists' instrumentals & they earned a street acclaim as the first hiphop group to keep it real in nigeria & their area precisely.
mac iv left the group in search of a greener pasture ( everything will be explained in their new track that's been worked on in blackworld hit factory basement). the duo of inferno & c-drill took their game to the next level & entered the lab to work on their first duo album titled ART FORM. After the release, they formed a record label & adopted the name : blackworld. Right now, with their album getting mad airplays on radios in nigeria, they are poised on taking over the music scene & caving a nitch for them selfs. Right now they're trying to hook up a distribution deal with any marketer who'll be capable of making their work reach all the nook & cronies of their country nigeria.
Right now, the group is made up of 7 members who are tight on their specialty. their names are: Dj kaycee: a producer & a disc jooky; TJ wreck: an instrumentalist, he was responsible for almost half of the beats in ART FORM; squeeze: a lyricist , ghost writter & mcee; Inferno: a lyricist, ghost writter & an mcee; eric def: an mcee; zhena: a female R & B single; an lastly C-drill: a producer, lyricist, DJ & mcee.
