Acts, the likes of Junior and Pretty, Daddy Fresh, Daddy Showkey, DJ Abdullah, El Cream, Ruff, Rugged and Raw all grabbed the mic, lighting up the stage, entertaining the crowd and basically having fun. No one had the slightest idea that Rap music was just on the brink of blowing up in Nigeria.
Hip hop gigs would later grow bigger in '93 when Dj Jimmy Jatt started hooking up DJ Raves in major university campuses across Nigeria,
