Hip-Hop Infused
When did you first get into music? The first time it came to my head, I was doing dishes and I had just finished seeing a Lil Bow Wow documentary. Then, I was in secondary school (High School) around 2004. Been rapping ever since, but I started doing music professionally in January 2018. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? I inspired myself and I also let everything around me, inspire me. After all, those years of practicing and learning, by 2018, I just thought it will be a waste to back down. I believe, I am very good at it. Nobody or nothing motivates me more than I motivate myself. I keep saying to myself… Man Don’t Quit. How would you describe the music that you create? My music is mostly about my life and things I’ve been through. I like to also tell eventual stories I have seen or read about. It’s easy to tell stories, because with that you can never run out of what to say. So, I can tell my story or tell another person’s story in my perspective, but the difference is that I bare it all. Raw. It’s usually an untold story, like how I was telling the “Igbo Landing” and “Asaba Massacre” story on my Nsibidi 2 project. How has your music evolved since you first began performing? You know they say practice makes perfect. I have been writing and recording for a long time and I am always getting better. It is also becoming easier for me to deliver my ideas. I have more confidence now. I’m sure you have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists/celebrities along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us? In 2016, when I was in University, I heard Mr. Raw was coming to
