ICE PRINCE: Direction Is More Important Than Speed. Take Your Time.

Author: DJ Semtex March 22, 2021 Duration: 43:24
Some of the hottest artists in the world are emerging from West Africa. The recent Grammy wins by Burna Boy and Wizkid will only inspire a new generation of Nigerian artists, and put the spotlight on the Afro fusion genres. Ice Prince describes himself as an Afrobeats Hip Hop artist. He was one of the first Nigerian artists to fuse Afrobeats with Rap, and take the sound worldwide. In this episode of the 'Hip Hop Raised Me' podcast, DJ Semtex connects with Ice Prince to discuss his new partnership with 300 entertainment in the US, the home of Hip Hop heavyweights such as Young Thug, Gunna, Megan Thee Stallion, and a team that will take Ice Prince's sound even further.
