Talk About It

"What if your problem is a problem for that problem?"

That sums up the remarkable rise of Jude Agaba also known as MI.
When he had to drop out of college in the United States, because he couldn't pay his fees, many thought he was done for. He came back home, picked himself up and tapped into his calling. Enter "crowd mentality". And the craze began.

This piece actually isn't about his debut album, no, but about "illegal music", a mixtape of samples taken from classics. From track 1 to 14, totally crazy! This mixtape is a totally off the chains, a masterpiece...MI just got crowned king of naija rap.

The lyrics and arrangement made the classics sampled feel fresh all over again, including the chatbuster made from "Gbono feli feli". This guy is bound to attract attention from the world of hip hop, and he looks more than ready to deliver. With his brother Jesse Jagz (a potential kryptonite himself) as producer, chocolatefactory's bank account is bound to remain blue for a while to come. With the hip hop community in naija rallying to record with him, all hail the new Akon, but his is the MI brand.
