After a successful feature on Wallz’ R4CS (Rap 4 Christ Sake) single
and RRHP’s WAZOBIA. A-Verse or Verse as he likes to called is back with his
own debut single dubbed “Trouble”. This is your one stop shop where you
find lyricism, style, aggressive delivery, and that all in your face type
of spontaneous flow. This classic piece was produced by BeatJockey.
Okesola Ayomipo, popularly known as A-verse, is a recording and performing
artiste, OAP and a Graphic / Print Technologist from the South-Western part
of Nigeria. He is known for his perfect blend of English and Indigenous
vocals on beats.
Born in the mid 80’s, Verse (as shortly called) started music as the
youngest member of his local church’s choir, but his musical influence
could be traced to his father who was a lover of music before and after he
became a preacher. Verse would listen to various artistes ranging across
genre on his father’s vinyl player. He was introduced to Hiphop by his
older cousin who used to play Tupac almost all day.
He started listening to various rap artiste; majorly Nas, Jay Z and later
Eminem, then he started writing his own rhymes.
Verse pursued a career in secular rap and almost got signed to Edge
Records, but his ‘‘preacher-boy’’ background held him back till he found
the real purpose for his gift; which is to glorify YHWH, the giver of the
gift.
Verse started writing cleaner and more faith based songs even before
listening to his first CHH song (Shocktherapy by Rooftop MCs) several years
later he met Gamie (fka Gameman), Wallz, Rapsodee andXL2letters; those who
would later become his friends and members of the same clique (RRHP).
Months later, he attended a concert put together by them, and the rest was
history.
He has featured on several tracks and made cover of several songs, before
releasing his first single, title: TROUBLE!
