Widely regarded as Hip Hop's voice box, Wordsmith is one of Nigeria's hottest rappers and he's about to blow globally. Nigerian-born and Nigerian-raised, Wordsmith is undeniably Nigeria's finest Hip Hop artiste and is fondly referred to as the "King Of Nigeria" by his rapidly expanding fan base. As CEO of 234 Records International, he is taking the rap game in Nigeria to unprecedented heights.
Blessed with an amazing flow and a swagger to match, Wordsmith is a gifted songwriter and has ghost-written hit records for several local acts that cut across different genres. He is also a spoken word poet of international repute and has won several laurels for his poetry. With spotlight-grabbing verses on most of Nigeria's current hottest songs (most notably "Maga No Need Pay" and "I GO VOTE", the mega-collabo of some of Nigeria's hottest artistes), he is burning up the airwaves in his home country of Nigeria and beyond. His debut album is due for release soon. Referred to by a top New York radio on-air personality as "the best thing from Nigeria since petroleum", keep your eyes and ears peeled for great things to come from The Wordsmith.
