He was once the poster boy of Igbocentric hip/ragga musical hub, and he held it down tightly for many years with endearing and enduring songs like “Daddy Mooh”, “Felenfe”, “Emesia Emesia”, “Onye Iwe”, “African Gbedu” and a host of other scintillating songs, mostly rendered in an intricately patterned mixture of Igbo and English languages.

The songs “Daddy Mooh” and “Emesia Emesia” which were released in 1999/2000 and 2002, respectively, attained the enviable status of quasi-national anthems, especially amongst the Igbo-speaking people of Nigeria, both at home and in the diaspora.
