Pryse also tweeted saying ‘I’m a Chocolate City artiste! I’ve been wanting to say those words 4 a while now! Lol…bear with me oh…’, Pryse excitedly tweeted.

[color=orange]Choc city CEO in an interview with The Nigerian Entertainment today, opened up saying “we’ve been looking for someone like her for years but didn’t find till now’. Maikori says he got to know about Pryse through M.I who had told him about her for a while. ‘Her art is overwhelming and we are satisfied with her lyrics and delivery’, Audu added.

Pryse is a UK based Nigerian rapper who is all set to storm the naija music industry. Born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, as Princess Esindu, she started writing raps at the tender age of ten with her older brother (now popular producer, Big H). She was encouraged down the path of music by her family, who owned and ran a recording studio in Port Harcourt. Pryse spent most of her teenage years listening to Jay Z, writing rhymes and recording songs. Her influences include Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and more recently, M.I.

With an increase in female voices in the music industry one wonders who the next lucky female artiste to land a record deal would be.
