BRIGHT OKPOCHA

If you call him-Mr. Multi-talented you might be right-He raps-very well at that, he is a Comedian and finally a Compere extraordinaire. Some have even come to refer to him has the Crown Prince of Comedy; whether that's a right assertion is a topic for another day. But we can tell you for a fact that he is good at his job.
The new deal with him right now, is that he is remembering what majorly brought him to the entertainment scene in the first place-Music. He had fallen madly in love in the 90's with Rap Music better known now has Hip-Hop. His many influences or inspirations then were the likes of Wu Tang Clan- made up of the likes of Method Man, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Raekwon, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastards, Inspectah Decks & U-God, Buckshot and many others.

He took his love a step further by collaborating with his elder brother-Godwin and a few other friends to form a Rap Group they named-The Psychopaths made up of 8 members, they experimented in the studios bringing all the 8 elements together, but never released an Album or any of the singles.
