The unique thing about this Delta state born singer is that fact that he used his Ajegunle roots to usher in a new crop of singers of today.

Blackky

In the early 1990s, Nigeria saw the emergence of an artist who wasn't making the traditional social conscious kind of music. Yes, guys, Blackky was different as he blew us away with the hit song ''Rosey'' which at that time was the biggest love song. Blackky despite his young age at that time was able to stay away from controversies.

''Sakobi'' will forever remain Susan Patrick's biggest movie of all time as we got to see her display her acting prowess.
