Mtrill – HOME

If you were listening to Rap music in Nigeria around the early 2000s’ you must have come across Mtrill. He was a household name in Port Harcourt at the time and was winning huge awards like channel O music video awards ahead of his Lagos counterparts like D-Banj and Tubaba just to mention a few. He is one that many rappers in PH looked up to at a certain point in their careers. M-trill and Rheymophoebus share similar values. They are seasoned emcees and entertainment entrepreneurs with similarities, such as their mutual love for hip-hop and an undying passion for seeing their industry grow and thrive.

The calibre EP

The project was produced by Xblaze, recorded mixed and mastered by Ex-O, artistically directed by Psalmurai and A&R’d by Ms. Rae @3131 connect.

The Calibre EP is a celebration of life and the struggles of everyday living. The project was designed to touch fans and listeners in specific uplifting and introspective ways while still showing skills on the mic, but, more importantly, Calibre is also an Ode to B-Elect, a community leader in the Nigerian hip-hop industry that passed away a few months ago (RIP).

It almost seems like Port Harcourt Nigeria has its own music Industry. The songs that blow up in PH remain in PH. Only a few PH songs make it outside of the region, but the ones that do become a national problem. Do you Remember when Mtrill surprised the world by bagging the award for Best African west in the Channel O awards ahead of Dbanj and co. , or when Waconzy’s single Celebrate occupied Nigeria and all of its radio stations. Even Duncan Mighty was a household name in PH for several years before his music slowly broke into Lagos. The Music Industry in Port Harcourt is very healthy and spiritual like it comes from the river goddess .. Hehe scratch that!

Home to acts like Duncan Mighty, Burna Boy, Timi Dakolo, Mtrill, Frank Denero, Agbani Darego, Tonto Dikeh, Adasa Cookey, and emerging talent Efezino, Port Harcourt has never been short of talents . It has a special place in my heart. It is home to a lot of my friends and family and I spent a very significant portion of my life growing up in Port Harcourt especially the time I spent at the University of Port Harcourt.

Bukwild is on the same path, his songs are heavy tunes in River state and like Duncan Mighty, he is slowly breaking into other parts of the country. Gum Body is a Song off his EP (My Music & Sound).

The Video was Shot in Port Harcourt by Renowned Filmmaker Cleroydaboss from Lagos Nigeria, The Video is Simple and Lovely. “Gum Body” is Produced by LXE, Watch and Enjoy
