Barely a few months ago, during the Detty December, the yearly showbiz extravaganza across the country’s entertainment hotspots, two songs held the entire Nigerian showbiz scene down: Portable Omolami’s Zazoo (Zehh) and Reekado Banks’ Ozumba Mbadiwe. At the forefront of these moment-defining jams was the 20-year-old wunderkind, Peace Emmanuel Aderogba, better known as P.Priime.

While the young music maverick continues to soar as one of the country’s youngest and most sought-after music producers, one thing remains shocking about P.Priime’s radical artistry; with the music whiz, easy lies the head that wears the crown.

P.Priime rose through the ranks between the past five years, having waved his musical midas touch over some of the most impactful projects in the Nigerian music scene; from Olamide’s Carpe Diem, to Fireboy’s Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps, to Reekado Banks’ Off The Record Vol 2., to Wizkid’s Grammy-nominated Made In Lagos, Teni’s Wondaland, Zlatan’s Resan, among many others.

From a humble teenager with a mind full of ideas to a young adult with his eyes set for the world, P.Priime’s artistry has definitely been one marked with the most remarkable growth for decades.
