LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION At a point in Nigeria the only accepted forum for hip hop artistes to have themselves groomed whilst engaging in lyrical battle was the ROAD BLOCK street Carnival pioneered by Dj Jimmy Jatt. Setting up speakers, turntables, amplifiers and microphones, young lads swarmed his studio like bees unto nectar begging for a lifeline to tout their art. Acts, the likes of Junior and Pretty, Daddy Fresh, Daddy Showkey, DJ Abdullah, El Cream, Ruff, Rugged and Raw and Aladin (Formerly know as Chuck Da Bone) all grabbed the microphones, lighting up the stage, entertaining the crowd and basically having fun.
