The Chief Executive Officer of Chocolate City Music, rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as MI, says becoming the CEO of a record label has made him sharper.
MI, who recently released a new album titled Rendezvous, told BBC Pidgin Service.
“It has sharpened me mentally,” he said.
“It is one of the best things to ever happen to me.”
According to MI, record labels are now the ones looking for musicians to sign instead of the other way around.
M.I rose to stardom in 2006 when his debut single ‘Crowd mentality’ became popular in his hometown, Jos.
Followed with the release of ‘Safe’ featuring Djinee, he brought life to rap music in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The track became an instant hit all over the country and on December 11, 2008, the rapper released his debut album, ‘Talk About It’.
