Fans, friends and associates of Chocolate City Records
rapper, Ice Prince Zamani, were last weekend thrilled at a concert held at the
expo hall of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos to launch his new
album, titled Fire of Zamani (FOZ) with sponsorship considerations from
Etisalat Nigeria.
According to Chief Commercial Officer at Etisalat Nigeria,
Mr. Matthew Willsher the company is proud to support platforms that promote the
works of young talents in Nigeria.
"At Etisalat, we believe that youth empowerment is a key
to nation-building, therefore we seek to empower Nigerian youths to be more
creative and innovative so that they can be useful to their communities. As you
may know from other activities we are involved in, supporting great talents in
music, arts, photography and small businesses in Nigeria is part of the ways we
encourage youth development. Good music is generally loved by Nigerians and we
reckon that promoting a talent such as Ice Prince would go a long way to
positively affect the Nigerian music industry,” he said.
To lighten up the mood of the event was the presence of the
Chief of Staff to the Edo State Governor, Honourable Patrick Obahiagbon, who
with his usual jaw-breaking words described Ice Prince Zamani as “one of
Nigeria’s musical hula palooza”, stating that he felt highly honoured to be a
part of the album launch as he ushered Ice Prince in to light up the stage.
Performing on stage for more than four hours, Ice Prince
performed some of the popular songs in his album including Wassup Wassup, See
Myself, Juju and Gimmie dat. Other acts such as Olamide, Phyno, Young L, Sunny
Neji, Chip Monk, Don Jazzy and Dr Sid were among stars that performed at a
night filled with fire and excitement.
The event which ended at the early hours of the morning saw
participants queuing up to buy copies of the FOZ album at the venue.
