Asides maintaining an unwavering stance of being, arguably, Nigeria’s best chance at a Grammy win, the Mavin frontline artiste has journeyed from a conservative sideline to claiming his name and spot in the hearts of many. The Hip-hop head drives with a poking mission to serve lifelines to a fandom that is on a steady increase.

One thing that sticks with this Nigerian rapper and lyricist is a sheer composure and range that has allowed him to mirror his art via different channels. A typical list would be through word puns, serving double entendres with heavy stroke bars, or in his space exuding high fashion sense. With the ace rapper, you get to continuously unlock new sides and levels to understanding and interpreting his art.
