Born Olusegun Osaniyi, Lord of Ajasa's interest in Hip Hop started in the early 90's when he began to pay attention to rappers like Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Ice-T, KRS-One and NWA. Like most young rappers, he first started mimicking joints by these MCs before he started writing and delivering his own rhymes. As time progressed, he saw the need to develop his own style, one that he would not only be comfortable with, but would also appeal to a greater number of Hip Hop enthusiasts who couldn't really decipher and appreciate the lyrics of their favourite American rap stars or their counterfeit Nigerian counterparts. He started delivering his rhymes in Yoruba with a sprinkling of English and Pidgin, and focused on themes that portrayed the numerous frolics of street-smart Yoruba youngsters in contemporary Lagos. His chosen moniker, Ajasa is a Yoruba word for flavour. Lord of Ajasa has just released his debut album, a 12 track set titled, "It's tooooo much" Produced by Ajasa and his collaborative partner, Idowu Olumide a.k.a ID Cabasa. The Lord of Ajass is one of the hot new stars from MGN Productions. He hails from Nigeria and has been entertaining since he was a child. He is out now on Blue Pie Productions for the world and is available at all leading digital retailers. *************************************** THE FACTS: Real Name: Olusegun Gbadura Osaniyi Stage Name: Lord of Ajasa Family Background: Family of five I am the forth born I’m from Ondo State and a native of Ikare - Akoko Which year did you start: I started professionally in the year 2000 Awards: The best indigenous rapper for the year 2000 Afro-Hip-Hop Awards organized shrine Nigeria.
