WEIRD MC material borders on the political as well as “PARTY TILL U DROP” Anthems.. She’s got a distinctive sound which is credible and commercially acceptable. This is one Artiste who can’t be put in a box, try doing that and you’d have to break the seal over and over again,. She delivers her material in English and YORUBA [A Popular Nigerian Language] This reflects her multicultural background she cuts across universally. NIGERIA’s HipHop icon started out taking part in Talent contests such as the reputable club 291 contest U.K. s equivalent to AMERICA’s Apollo. In 1992 she took part placing 3rd this did not phase her,she got really motivated and placed an ad in the U.K.s HipHop Connection magazine seeking for a producer. A young producer named Kevin Best came through and within two months of recording with him.
WEIRD MC released a double sided single titled “WANNA MAKE U JACK”/ ”LET’s GETWET” . This single went straight to NO 1 on the CHOICE FM Promo charts and NO1 on the BLUES and SOUL UK Swing charts.
