Odumodublvck said, “On my list of top five Nigerian rappers of all time, M.I is number one. He was the one that transition hip-hop from… You know Nigerians, especially on the internet, have the conception that hip-hop has to be dark, depressing but that was not what M.I brought. M.I made us know that hip-hop can be sweet, babes can love hip-hop.
“ModeNine is number two because of what he did for the culture even though his style of hip-hop is for hip-hop heads. You’ve to still respect him still. I place M.I higher than ModeNine because M.I can do what ModeNine is doing but I don’t think ModeNine can really do what M.I does. I don’t know but he didn’t do it for me to hear. Maybe, he could.
“Number three is Jesse Jagz because Jagz is the greatest. I would have said Jago ahead of M.I but M.I did so much.
“Number four, based on respect, I would say Vector.
“Number five is Naeto C. His branding was so on point.”
The rapper also disclosed during the interview that deluxe version of his debut album, ‘Eziokwu’ features Duncan Mighty, Black Sherif, Anti-World Gangsters, BOJ, Mizzle, and Teni.
