M.I Abaga The chairman: His Burning Desire For Greatness

MI Abaga-Chairman

With two successful albums, several mix-tapes, multiple awards, creative collaborations under his belt and his latest skit as part of the trio of prestigious judges on the recently concluded Glo Xfactor, MI Abaga speaks to ESSENTIALS about his forth-coming album and his burning desire for greatness.

Since the release of your first album, Mr Incredible, you have been churning out hit after hit. What do you reckon is your distinctive quality, especially in Nigeria’s highly competitive music industry?

I think it’s that fire, that burning desire within me to keep bringing good stuff. For a music-lover like me, there’s the hunger to always offer more music to the world. Now, when a hit is made, it is the determination and hard work put in – not just to bring about a song – that makes it a masterpiece in its own way. But, of course, none of this would be possible without God who is the strength, unrelenting spirit and the ultimate gift.

What do you think of being described as a ‘rap icon’?
