XBLAZE WAS DEFINATELY "BORN TO SPIT" COS HE'S GOT SO MUCH "LUV FOR THE HIPHOP GAME"


A long time ago, in the galaxy of Nigeria, a child was born to bring back... the true sound of HipHop and he was called XBLAZE (oh well, after his parents officially named him Adebosoye Laoye, that is).
Yeah, he's the younger brother of none other than the exceptional singer/performer, Nikki Laoye.
Having a sister like Nikki gives you a deeper insight to the musical genius you are reading about at this very moment.

Born on October 6th, 1986, Xblaze was a unique child while growing up, always creating anything out of everything and simply loved to play with words.
He grew up listening to hiphop heads like PeteRock, Gangstar, Trybe called Quest e.t.c in the early 90's and always spent a lot of time with his siblings, Nikki and brothers Bola & Femi (aka Rap2Sai - featured artiste in Nikki Laoye's "Taka Sufe), as they made music, listened to music and created music all day long.
In 2004, he veered into music production out of curiousity as he'd developed such a great ear for notes and sounds and with the use of a friend's studio, he taught himself  the basics of beat making with fruity loops (now known as FLO Studio).
Now with constant online research, endless development of his skills and a passion beyond measure, here emerges one of the most unique music producers to come from these parts.

Soon enough, Xblaze decided to set up his own recording studio at home, out of which, the 2nd hit single from his sister's debut album "Taka Sufe" was created. The song was nominated severally and has gone ahead to win Frizzle (the video director) of the video, the award for "Best New Video Director" in the 2010 Nigeria Music Video Awards . 


Labeled "the best hiphop producer of A.G.O town", where he grew up in Isolo,Lagos, Xblaze presently runs his production outfit called Rocsteady86 Productions and has worked with Naija's top HipHop Lyricist, ModeNine, producing one of the tracks from his most recent album- DaVinci Mode.
Xblaze daily exhibits his skills in beat production and music mastering for his clients which also include HipHop artistes like Verb, M.Simile and more from USA who heard some of his productions on the internet and hooked up with him.

Xblaze was showcased alongside his sister, on the rockumentary, MTVBase Advance Warning in 2008, of which Nikki was one of the selected artistes for the show.
He is also a member of the Wahala Media family alongside Nikki Laoye and SugarBoy A1,

A man of many gifts,Xblaze delved into Graphics Design (self-taught again!!) and creates some of the most amazing graphical pieces yet seen. He is also a performing HipHop Artiste, backing up his sister at many shows including The Experience 2009, and has now recorded demo singles of his own,singing his own hooks while dropping them 16 bars real hard on tracks like "Born to Spit" and "Luv for the Game".
