ABOUT THE LORD OF AJASSA
The Nigerian Hip Hop scene is rapidly evolving and one
of the new bright stars is the Lagos rhymesayer known
as Lord of Ajasa.
The Lord of Ajasa brings an interesting dimension to
the rap game with his kamikaze flow and compelling use
of Yoruba street lingo. Some may argue that these
qualities are not enough to set him apart from
Nigeria's army of jobbing rappers considering the fact
that his themes are not a radical departure from the
debauchery that characterizes today's rap music. But
those with keen ears will readily agree that this
Akure, Ondo State bred rapper has given us some of the
wittiest and most laconic lines ever delivered in
Yoruba language.
Born Olusegun Osaniyi, Lord of Ajasa's interest in Hip
Hop started in the early 90's when he began to pay
attention to rappers like Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Ice-T,
KRS-One and NWA. Like most young rappers, he first
started mimicking joints by these MCs before he
started writing and delivering his own rhymes. As time
progressed, he saw the need to develop his own style,
one that he would not only be comfortable with, but
would also appeal to a greater number of Hip Hop
enthusiasts who couldn't really decipher and
appreciate the lyrics of their favourite American rap
stars or their counterfeit Nigerian counterparts. He
started delivering his rhymes in Yoruba with a
sprinkling of English and Pidgin, and focused on
themes that portrayed the numerous frolics of
street-smart Yoruba youngsters in contemporary Lagos.
His chosen moniker, Ajasa is a Yoruba word for
flavour.
Lord of Ajasa has just released his debut album, a 12
track set titled, "It's tooooo much" Produced by Ajasa
and his collaborative partner, Idowu Olumide a.k.a ID
Cabasa.
The Lord of Ajass is one of the hot new stars from MGN
Productions. He hails from Nigeria and has been
entertaining since he was a child. He is out now on
Blue Pie Productions for the world and is available at
all leading digital retailers.
