“It’s about the most unreal thing in the
world. I don't know anybody here and I don't know any member of MI’s crew. One
minute, I’m in the crowd chillin’ with my friends and the next minute I’m right
next to M.I on stage, performing Nobody Test Me together. This is the stuff
dreams are made of.’’ – X Busta, 400L student of Imo State University and
upcoming rapper.
When
23 year old Golden Chinedu Okafor stepped into Hero Square Owerri for the annual Star
Music Trek, he had only three things in mind. 1: To hang out with his buddies, 2:
Have a couple of drinks on them. 3 Watch some of the greatest performers in
Africa.
1
hour later Golden, a.k.a X Busta was
performing on stage WITH one of the greatest artistes artistes in Africa MI.The proverbial
opportunity of a lifetime.
Golden,
encouraged by his friends, had the ‘golden’
opportunity to freestyle on stage just like many other upcomers who came to
show their talent. But after witnessing his performance, Gbenga Adeyinka, the
gregarious MC who isn’t easily impressed, quickly promised to personally
introduce him to M.I when the prolific rapper eventually got on stage.
The
400 level student studying Estate Management at Imo State University who also
happens to be the Director of Socials of his institution is an amazing bundle
of talent, spitting lyrics viciously and free styling in a unique and appealing
way which caught the attention of thousands of music fans at ‘The Trek’ as well
as Chocolate City boss, MI.
M.I
called Busta to join him on stage during his set; allowing the young rapper
freestyle before the thousands of fans at Heroes Square.
The
rapper without hesitation removed his jacket handing it over to the elated
upcomer… perhaps passing over a mantle??
“Music
is seriously what I want to do for a lifetime,” the young man says
emphatically. “It’s what I’m passionate about and to have this boost so early
on…it’s unbelievable,” he added.
Well
there’s no doubt that MI’s evocative prayers for him on that stage will certainly
prove to be an enormous boost as he proclaimed to X Busta with a bow “May God
keep you, may God bless you. Everything I have achieved will be your
beginning.”
Busta,
apparently ,is yet to step off cloud nine “It’s about the most unreal thing in
the world. I don't know anybody here and I don't know any member of MI’s crew. One
minute, I’m in the crowd chillin’ with my friends and the next minute I’m right
next to MI on stage, performing Nobody
Test Me together.This is the stuff dreams are made of."
And
M.I has promised to ‘‘stay in touch’’ with his new friend. Will he sign him to
Chocolate City?
