A PODCAST ABOUT THE LIFE OF ONE OF NIGERIAS MOST RESPECTED LYRICISTS , STARTING FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ..IN EPISODE 1 MODENINE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE GOT THE NAME "MODENINE" ANDS HOW HE MET AYO ANIMASHAUN AND SOLO DEE
My first ever encounter with Mode 9 was when I heard It's about to get ugly. First the start of the beat gave me a seizure! Then I heard him say 'TAP the fluid out of your spine, serve it like PALM WINE. I was like wait, wait! I'm not sure I heard what I heard. Is this guy what I think he is, an intelligent rapper, In Nigeria? Then he said The only time I KICK a wack rhyme is when I throw your LYRIC PAD on the floor and KICK it like I'm playing ball... That's when I knew for sure, we've just owned our own lyricist! Because the play with words was overkill at the time. Became a fan instantly. Got my friend to speak to LD of Rythm 93.7 fm PH to record the song for me. I got a mix but couldn't care about the other songs. I've been a fan since till today! Love this guy till today!
I could remember the name Solo Dee back then in Jos when PayBackTym Records was really swinging. They had the largest and illest collection of spitters anywhere ever, good days. Shout out to Bionic tha Soul king, i see you Sir. Thanks for inspiring King Modo!
My respect for Modo is never gonna go dim and this concept is another reason for that... Whatever that's worth doing is for sure worth doing well... Yes there are a gazillion Nigerian Rappers out there... But the way Modo does his thing is just so standard... And I love it... And need I mention this??? His mixtape and album season I must say was the wind that kept me going through my University education but pls don't ask me for details... His flows kept motivating and literally putting life into my creativity... I remember his collabo with #Lagbaja... I'll never forget that... #Let_It_Out... Modenine was the only reason I had to go buy Lagbaja's Album for the first and only time in my entire life... Believe me... Modo... You're forever a legend to me... #Respect... It's your bWoy... #q
