Yeah! It’s the last Friday of the month (September) and
it’s usually when I display my Rising Stars in the Nigeria Entertainment
Industry.
Meet 28 year old, Port Harcourt and Nigeria’s Rising
Music Star, EDWIN NONSO AGWUNOBI, Music/ Stage name: RHYME DEEP. He is single ,
from Okija, Anambra, Nigeria, and a graduate of Linguistics and Communication
Studies, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers state, Nigeria.
Professionally, he is a Nigeria Recording / Performing
Artiste, Rapper, and Song-writer. His genres of music are classified as Nigeria
Hip-Hop/ Rap (better known as Naija Hop) and Afro Hip-Hop.
He began his music career with Fahrenheit Records
(2006-2008) as one of their signed artist, but after the elapse of his contract
with them in 2008, Rhyme Deep refused extending the contract he had with them
because they lack direction and doesn’t really have the interest and growth of
their artistes at heart; on path of building, establishing and launching of
artiste into the National and International music scenes. Instead they were
more, interested in reaping off artiste from the little promotional sacrifices
they were willingly to indulge their finances into.
For 2 years he was signed to the record label, they were
not able to record an album for him, even the couples of singles he recorded
and released then, were not properly promoted that’s why he terminated the
contract he had with them in May 2008.
Rhyme Deep has been working independently and tirelessly
striving to succeed, then in 2009, he went into a management deal with ‘Just-so-u-know
Entertainment’ (2009-2012) during that period he recorded and released a
mix-tape (Hip-Hop, Me and the Mic: 2010)and a 13 track EP Album ( Saturation:
2012).
After the expiration of the management deal in 2012 / 2013,
he has recorded couple of singles and another mix-tape (Saturation the
Free-tape: 2013) which was promoted and released online.
Currently, he is working and putting finish touches to
another EP Album titled ‘Minna Experience’ to be released towards the end of
the year. From this upcoming EP, he has shot a music video for his famous
hit-track ‘NAIJA BOY’, and has also gone into marketing, radio, and online
promotion of couple of singles of his ‘Minna Experience’ EP Album.
His focus and direction musically, is to one day become a
National (Nigeria), Regional (Africa), and International music Phenomenon. To create
and have a music presence that is felt across the globe.
And also to secure a music management and record label
deal with any major record label and artistic management company that will
manage, support, sponsor, A&R, promote and establish his music career as a
professional artist and off-shoot him into the mainstream industry. Since music
is a multi-million naira project especially in Nigeria, where if you don’t have
millions to spend on video shoots, media promotion and other needed promotional
packages, no one is whole-heartily willing to hear of promote your song/
material.
