Nigerian powerhouse record label Chocolate City has marked
its 20th anniversary with the release of ‘Legacy’, a hard-hitting new single featuring
veterans Jesse Jagz, Ice Prince, and rap star Blaqbonez.
The track, produced by G-Plus Chang and Jace Kim, dropped
across all streaming platforms early Friday.
A celebration of the label’s enduring impact on Nigerian
hip-hop, ‘Legacy’ showcases the distinct styles of its three rappers.
Ice Prince delivers his signature smooth yet commanding
flow, Jesse Jagz brings introspective lyricism with a laid-back groove, while
Blaqbonez injects youthful energy with witty punchlines and undeniable swagger.
“20 years in the making/ Chocolate City/ the empire reigns
forever/ Legacy spiffing/ Nobody here feeling jealousy/ I am still equipped in
my legacy/ My legacy/ I am the prophet/ The emissary,” the rappers declare on
the triumphant chorus.
In January, the record label released a track titled
‘Chocolate City Cypher’ to also celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Chocolate City was founded by Audu Maikori, Paul Okeugo and
Yahaya Maikori in 2005.
The label has been home to recording artistes such as M.I
Abaga, Nosa, Dice Ailes, Blaqbonez, and CKay.
Other artistes include Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, Young Jonn,
Victoria Kimani, Brymo, and DJ Lambo.
