Acts, the likes
of Junior and Pretty, Daddy
Fresh, Daddy Showkey, DJ
Abdullah, El Cream, Ruff, Rugged
and Raw all grabbed the mic,
lighting up the stage,
entertaining the crowd and
basically having fun. No one had
the slightest idea that Rap
music was just on the brink of
blowing up in Nigeria.
Hip hop gigs
would later grow bigger in '93
when Dj Jimmy Jatt started
hooking up DJ Raves in major
university campuses across
Nigeria,
Jimmy Jatt's events became the
Mecca of hip-hop, where heads
allover the country converged.
Two notable annual events were,
The Tupac and Biggie (Notorious
B.I.G) remembrance concerts,
which virtually featured all the
big names in the game. Weird,
Trybesmen, Def 'o' clan, Dr
Fresh, Remedies, El Dee, F.B.I
and Plantashun Boiz.
Dj Jimmy Jatt had already become
a giant; he couldn't help being
noticed by big time events
outfits. Getting drafted by the
likes of: Cosse, Tequila,
Marathon events, Vigeo, STB
McCann, Contact Marketing, Kent
and Summerset saw him becoming a
traveling man too busy on tour
with either Coca Cola, Rothmans,
St Moritz, Benson and Hedges,
Nigeria Breweries, MTN, Globacom,
Guiness, etc.
