Rap act, eLDee is generally known for making great music right from his days as the leader of the erstwhile rap group known as Trybesmen. He is also one of the very few artistes in the country known for their relentless fight for a better Nigeria.
Through his music, he very boldly addresses issues of corruption, bad governance and injustice in his native country, Nigeria. His genuine passion for his country and Africa as a whole, makes him unabashed when addressing its issues.
ELDee has been in the news lately for his return to shooting videos, his UK tour as well as his work on the "Rep 4 Nigeria" song for MTV Base Nigeria. He was recently featured on CNN i-List - a program which focuses on different topics about a country for a whole week.
The i-List edition which chose Nigeria as its talking point last week beamed its spotlight on Nigerians on Social Media. In the course of the feature, notice was taken of eLDee's continued campaign to use all avenues available to make his voice relevant in the struggle for positive change in Nigeria.
Earlier this year, he released his video entitled One Day, which was also mentioned in the CNN feature story. The video entitled I go Yarn released in 2004, asks questions about the quality of our leadership and accountability on the part of our rulers while still preaching its message of hope to the hopeless. With his music he advocates accountability and alerts the populace to the need to exercise their rights. It is a part of the reason why he has lent himself to such causes as "Enough-is-Enough” as well as the Light up Nigeria movement, of which he is a founding member.
