Alex Samson (born January 4,), better known by this stage name King Lexy a Nigerian rap artist, he was Born to a family of two, he lived with his Grand Parents through out his school days, till he eventually moved out of the Ghetto.
Given the name Alex Samson, King Lexy never saw his biological father since the day he was born on January 4/1984 in ABU General Hospital, Kaduna. Raised by his mother and Grand Parents, Samson and Rebecca Odaudu, together with his Antis, little Lexy had developed a profound interest in melodic tunes, particularly rap music. "he always liked rapping," he admitted. "I rapped every chance he got." Calling himself little pac, he then started to join some talent competitions around his hometown at the age of 13
Life was not really easy for him while he was growing up, but due to the determination he had in life to achieve his dreams, he was able to fight it hard and rough through out his school days till he eventually graduated from College. lexy grew up to be a strong man because he had to do some kind of odd jobs just to earn a living, but that has always been a story that he will live to tell.
While growing up, he loved hip-hop & R&B and some of the artists who inspired him were Tupac, R kelly and Jay Rule . When his friends heard his perfect tenor voice, they eventually encouraged him to drop a rap and he did just that. lexy performed at many talent shows and won many prizes and awards at his younger age. lexy have also met a lot of artists with whom he have worked with behind the scenes. Along the line no one was there to support him and none believed in him and his dreams, so his grand parents whom lexy was staying with decided to encourage him to finish high school first, and then they could talk about a possible music career.
After a period of hard work and struggling, lexy eventually got a certificate in school and immediately moved to London to continue with his studies and music career. while in London, lexy stayed with his mum who further encouraged and gave me all the support he needed to achieve his dream. After achieving a huge success in the musical line, lexy eventually moved back to Nigeria to set up a malty million naira records label in Kaduna Nigeria which was known all over the city
As time goes on lexy started recording dropping mix tapes and also working on his own songs.. in 2008 lexy joined a group called (nice t cube), before dropping down to be a solo artist were he started appearing on musical videos, mix tapes, singles and also on x-tacy`s debut album 2007, as well as striking out his own single "Naija rubber band" which was a solo cut from one of lexys soundtrack. During that period, while he was working on his debut album It's Game Time, he also had other collaborations with J-blaq, A.T, Deebee Collabo, Stine Richard as well as dropping some street-level mix tapes. and his proper debut, naija rubber band, which was released by Lexy Records in 2008.
Now in Dec 2009, the single 'I Bet She Want Me' helped to make ready his first album, while In 2010 summer, he successfully dropped the 'Naija Rubber Band Remix' with various Nigerian/UK artists, before his debut album 'It's Game Time' came to be in June 2010.
