Popular indigenous rapper, Azubuike Chibuzo Nelson better known by his stage name Phyno has described his journey into the mainstream music world as a dream he never imagine it would come to pass.
“I remain grateful to God; because I have crossed bridges I almost thought I couldn’t. My journey is one that is filled with so much hustling, plenty consistency and striving to be relevant in the industry,” he said.
The rapper disclosed that the likes of Nigga Raw and late MC Loaf were the artistes that inspired him into rapping in indigenous language.
On signing endorsement deals with some blue-chip companies, in recent times, Phyno said, it is as a result of his hard work. “The brands that endorse you believe in your creativity and that you are doing very well.” The rapper, however, disclosed that he’s currently working on his second album, which he said, will be dropping in three months time.
Phyno who started out as a music producer in 2003, released his debut album “No Guts No Glory”, in 2014, featuring Timaya, Flavour, Ruggedman, Bracket, J Martins and Mr Raw. Last year, he was made brand ambassador by Airtel alongside 2face Idibia, Patoranking, comedian Akpororo and OAP, Ik Osakioduwa.
