We hear thier names everywhere but we dont know who they are. JK met up with 6 of babcock's finest rappers to know them and also to introduce the diverse personalities to you. Baron,Basky,Kidtusic,Novakillz,OzzyB and Zato (in alphabetical order,hehe!!) are 6 of the biggest rappers in B.U. at the moment. Enjoy!!
JK. How would you guys feel if i call you babcock's biggest stars?
BaronG: (big smile) I really deserve to be called that!! even my fellow artistes know how tough my hustle is and how hard I've worked!
Basky: I will take it as a compliment but I'll guess you just got to hear about me this year....I think I have a larger fan base outside school.
Kidtusic: it will be ok because I think that's where we belong.
Novakillz:(Laughs) umm......to be honest it sounds lame (straight face)...(laughs) no offence.
OzzyB: Yeah, that's what Good Music allows you become, not only in a school, but everywhere.
zato: Yeah, It would really be an honour because the little time i've spent in this school i've come across so much talent...particularly in the
music industry..so it would be a great feeling being categorized with them.
JK:.One adjective to describe yourself.
BaronG:Hard working
Basky: standard
Kidtusic:Awesome (straight face).
Novakillz:That would have to be "Calm" I guess
I'm kinda quiet,i always try to smile around people. I'm shy.
OzzyB: Weird
zato : Hardworking
JK:.Why are rappers and artists so much in B.U.?
BaronG:Probably they think music is what is trending but I was born to do this.I lead and others follow.
Basky: I don't know why ...I'll prefer not to be referred to as a BU rapper.I'm a student there and outside school I'm an artist. My music is everywhere. My fans are everywhere.
Kidtusic: I guess its a coincidence we didn't plan to all come here.
Novakillz:Its common among young people ,almost everyone raps.
OzzyB: People think music is the "in thing now". Like its some sort of Trend. They think its someway to get popular and its not helping. There's too much Bad Music Around.
JK: So you're saying not all B.U. rappers and artists are original and creative?
OzzyB: Yes, Not of all them are.
zato: Artists are everywhere...i personally think there are more rappers in unilag or any other federal university than babcock..everyone wants to make music nowadays...
JK:.How do you guys all relate with each other? Because i know you guys feature a lot on each other's songs.
BaronG: I've always been humble and I blend very well with artistes in general.
Basky:Uh I'm cool with a bunch of guys....baron g, Nova , bankyonDbeatz ...etc we hang out together...indoors mostly
Kidtusic: Yeah, our chemistry is good because we have been friends for long ,and we are mostly found together,so if I want to feature any of them they can't say no.
Novakillz:Ozzy and tusic are like brothers to me,we are always around each other so it only makes sense that we work together.
OzzyB: We are all Good Friends, We Laugh. Play And Argue Everytime.
zato : We are all friends so we relate like normal friends do...no competition whatsoever in my opinion because i believe the sky is large enough for all of us.
JK: do you guys have girlfriends?
BaronG::) I have a fiancee
JK:Hmmm,tell us more about her
BaronG:I will be so proud to tell you everything about her but I would like to protect her private life in our own best interest! (Wide grin).
Basky:No...I'm single....but I have a very special friend in place of one.
JK:Hmmm,tell us mre about her
Basky: just a close friend I hold close to my heart.....okay next question....(Fidgets)
Kidtusic: Umm.....nah I dont (straight face) . Not realy into that even if I see the right girl.
JK: why?
Kidtusic: I don't want any girl to distract me at the moment but maybe later because I am married to the game (big smile).
Novakillz: Nah,nova is single
JK: why?
Novakillz: Umm to be honest, I don't know, I prefer it this way.
OzzyB: (laughs for a while),
I am nt answering.
Zato: nope.
JK:.Im sure the females come and go,how do you deal with the attention and im very certain "free yansh"? (Laughs)
BaronG: (Laughing hard) im 100% principled. They come but we don't get distracted. My grind is more relevant!
Basky: I'm rather free going....I know my limits and I never get distracted.
JK: so u take advantage of the attention frm female fans?
Basky: no
Kidtusic: (laughs) we just do them as they come (wide grin).
Novakillz:I'm a good boy (angelic look) ,I ignore it
JK:Nova,i can confess to knowing a bunch of girls that are in love with you,how do you do it? What do you even do that makes them lyk ice would say it; "feel the boy"?
Novakillz: To be honest, I don't know because I'm actually a really shy person
OzzyB: It's hard honestly but you have to avoid it, nobody wants unneccessary Drama.
zato : (laughing hard)...free yansh?? I dont know about that...but yeah, the female fans are there i guess...bt i try to focus more on my music..thats wat it's about for now.
JK:. If you all were to switch positions with each other,who would you rather be?
BaronG:Since Baron G is not an option,I'll prolly commit suicide!!!I love being me!
Basky:None really....they're my friends and I see them equally
Kidtusic: Novakillz. He is very talented and attracts the most girls (sad face).
Novakillz:Wow....no one to be honest. I love my life!!
OzzyB: (laughs), I honestly wont be any of them
JK: Why?
OzzyB: (laughs). They're all crazy.
zato: (laughs) *lips sealed*
JK: Spill the beans zato!
zato : (laughs) i've never really thought about it...because they are all equally great rappers nd people.
JK:.How do you guys manage school work and your careers?
BaronG:I can't lie,its a complicated combination But I just have to cope because school is my number one priority We thank God.
Basky:We make the most use of our free time
Kidtusic: I try as much as possible to concentrate on both but some don't care about school.
Novakillz:Its really hard,sometimes tests may clash with shows and outings but you just have to set your priorities right and be focused.
OzzyB: It's very hard, too hard if you ask me, You Just Have to Pray to God to make your mind strong and then you can balance the two of them.
zato : Speakin for myself...it is sooo hard...for example you are writing a song...and then you remember you have an assignment you have not done due by 2pm..you have to drop the song you are writing and do the assignment...and by the time you come back to the song the inspiration is gone...we are allowd 2 leave skool once a month..so thats another factor...so all in all its tough..bt we are still doing good music..and thats all that matters.
JK:.Some people say you guys in particular are really corky and pompous. Is that true?
BaronG:No oooo. But I can only talk for myself though. I'm not; I'm 100% humble. *Morning Afternoon Night (smiles)
Basky: I try to be as humble as possible
Kidtusic: We are ?? I don't think we are from my point of view when people see us together they think we are really cocky and shit but I don't think so if someone says hi we won't hesitate to reply or if someone comes to meet us for something we always try to listen so I don't see why people say that (smiles)
Novakillz: (laughing) We are far from that,we are simple people.
OzzyB: Nahhh, I'm not.
zato: Not at alll...people will always say what they want to say...so we pay little attention to that..if you get to know us you would find out that that's not how we are...
JK:.What do you think is your worst encounter in your career?
BaronG:Fundings (angry face) I don't have a label. Every move I've made for myself in this game,all the money came out from my pocket!
Basky: I ithink It will be this show in abuja.....sometime last year....it was my first time performing for a crowd so large and it was at a beauty pageant so most of the crowd were feminine.....I was so tensed....I pulled it off at the end though.
Kidtusic: Now that I have settled in the game I have to look way back to when I first recorded I was tooo nervous.
When I first stepped into the studio, I didn't know what was going on I just wanted to make music and I was so nervous that i almost forgot everything that I wrote and I spent over 2 hours on a verse. That was one of the worst days of my life, I wanted to quit music. (Covering face).
Novakillz:So far I can't complain about anything,thank God.
OzzyB: Nothing Really Bad Yet
zato : Umm...its been smooth so far...nothin bad has really happened..probably wen i lost my voice and i had 2 perform the next day...but it wasn't as bad as i thought it wld be.
JK:.Any advice for people looking up to you?
BaronG: Just keep doing your thing; your grind will speak for you! let no one bring you down no matter what they say. A lot of unbelievers are now believers.I'm a living example.
Basky:just kEep working and never let critics make you stop.....if people talk about you ,at least it shows you're relevant.....hardwork always pays off.
Kidtusic: Just be yourself and do what you have to do don't try to copy anyone and try to be close to God because you can't do anything without him and always believe in yourself and never try to quit what you like (except your wack) (laughs) and never let anyone bring you down, believe that. (big smile)
Novakillz:Umm, just do your thing I guess,people would always talk but just ignore them..eventually things wud work out (smiles)
OzzyB: Don't Forget Where You Came From, No matter Where You Go, and Stay Real.
zato : Pray to God and keep working hard...u'll definitely get there.
JK:.One funny question running through my mind,if you were to come back as a popular female celeb who would that be?
BaronG: Lady gaga.I think she's fantastic. Im love struck.
Basky: Lauryn hill. I see her as An icon.....I owe a Lot of my inspiration to her music....
Kidtusic: (laughing); "oprah winfrey" i just want to have money (laughs).
Novakillz:Umm can't think of anyone right now
OzzyB: (laughing), Miley Cyrus...I always wanted to star in hannah montana.
zato : (laughing)...what? Um ok...Ellen degeneres..because i would still like girls (wink)
(General laughter).

INTERVIEW BY: ENITAN .O. KEHINDE.
Hamzat sanni-shittu aka ZATO wz born feb 26th 93...attened chrisland primary skool, CtC avi cenna and awesome college and was well acknowledged as a future rapstar....he started @ a young age but wz discovered in 2010 by nightblaze...he is currently signed to nightblaze records and has worked with the likes of teeto,terry tha rap man, ex-o emmsong and so on...watch out 4 this kid cz he is destined 4 greatnes
Introducing Basky,Ibrahim Haruna,17 years old,born in New
Jersey,United states to Nigerian parents,
spent most of his time in Lagos, schooling.
He started rapping at the age of 11 but was more into freestyle
battling after classes and didn't intend
going into the mainstream,he didnt get to record a song until
2007,when he recorded 'Holla at your boy' on the
instrumental of jae millz's 'my swag',Basky quickly became a topic of
discussion amongst many due to his versatility and jaw dropping
punchlines.
He's currently working on his mixtape titled 'The Proof' which will be
out early next year (2011)..
He became rap-obessed at the age of 15, kept his ears on the streets before he finally got the name Baron G from his senior brother, Osahon (real names witheld) due to his swift income moves and hustle mentality. He met Terry G at the age of 17 and they both made a song together(“The Way She Dey Whine”) but kept it in the bag and didnt promote it.
Now due to rising demands of the Nigerian Music Market today, he correctly plans to touch the track again. Presently he has a club banger “Break Your Back” featuring Obby produced by Sarz (Dagrin‘s “Kondo” & Jahbless‘ “Jo ooo”) and he is currently working with Deejay Klem(KnightHouse) on a single which he plans to drop real soon!
Because of his delivery and Yoruba/English/Pigin rapping style,he has been seriously compared with the Late Dagrin
The young rapper known to a few as Ukot inyang ukot and to most people as kid tusic was born on nov 25th, 1993. He is a graduate of dansol high school and is currently in babcock university. He started rapping in 2009 and so far his rapping career has been prosperous.. Working with various artistes and producers,kid tusic currently did his own version of ice prince's "oleku" and out of the many re-makes,it's safe 2 say his is the best.
