Show Notes
On this episode, we sit down with M.I Abaga, the legendary African Rapper No. 1, to explore the remarkable journey of one of the most influential figures in Nigerian hip-hop.
From his early days as a rapper who shifted the continent’s sound, to his transformative years leading Chocolate City and shaping the careers of stars like Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, and CKay, M.I reflects on a career defined not only by timeless music but also by sacrifice. He opens up about guidance from his inner child and what it means to pursue purpose beyond fame, the challenge of ageing in hip-hop, the heartbreak of leaving Chocolate City, and how that moment of loss became a turning point for growth.
Two decades later, M.I’s voice remains a guide for what it means to build, to lead, and to last. Listen in as we unpack his legacy; and discover what it takes to leave your own. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
