iRAP:I was in SS3, preparing for WAEC and her cousins JAMB and NECO, and this new guy joins us in school in SS3. He loved to rap and was actually rapping in school. So i thought to myself, "i will like to do this, infact i can do this". I approached him soon afterwards and in a few days we did a song together in the school fellowship gathering. That was the first rap I ever wrote and ever performed. It was well received and i was encouraged.
