Not much was known bout this Rapper untill after this collaboration, the graduate of Theatre Arts went ahead to unveil his street anthem “Eyen Uyo” which became the rave of the moment and backed it up with a dope video ft G’wiz and directed by Wemzi Cool. The rapper did a couple of fresh works including the tribute dedicated to the victims of the Reigners Church tragedy with less Ibibio flows though then the release of “Sukuta” (a song that’s still raving the whole country from airplay to media hype) Where he reaffirms his versatility in bursting both Ibibio and English flows.
