Editor's note

9ice, the Yoruba-English voice from Ogbomosho

A Nigerian singer whose reggae ballads and outspoken lyrics connected with listeners.

For a sense of his sound, 'Ganja man' and 'Little money' frame it well. They show that mix of reggae ballad and Yoruba-English lyrics he built his name on.

His 2007 debut 'Ganja Man' gave him a platform with its reggae ballad about a drug user's struggles. Songs like 'Little money' and 'Gongo aso' mix Yoruba and English in a way that felt specific to his background. He kept releasing albums through the 2010s, including 'CNN & Your Daddy' in 2019.

He started with local events in Oyo State, drawing from Fela Kuti and King Sunny Adé. 'Ganja Man' put him on the map in 2007, followed by albums like 'Tradition' and 'Bashorun Gaa'. His outspoken lyrics sometimes drew criticism, and his personal life received public attention.
