early life

Ladipo was born into a prominent Esho family on April 29, 1992. Although the Esho family resides in the city of Lagos, they are from the ancient Yoruba city of Ilesa, which is located in Osun State.

Named Ladipo Eso, his parents, rappers, raised him as Christians. He spent his formative years in Nigeria’s commercial capital, where he completed his primary and secondary education before migrating overseas for higher education.

Despite his background in science, Radipo has always had a keen interest in music, dating back to his high school days. Influenced by American rappers such as Eminem, 2pac, The Notorious BIG, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and others, Radipo developed a desire to become a rapper. He explored this passion during his teenage years, writing rap lyrics and performing them to the admiration of his family, friends, and classmates.

Although Ladipo was interested in rap music, he dreamed of pursuing a professional music career in Nigeria. He knew that to succeed he had to perfect his musical style and create songs that his audience, Nigerians, could relate to.

In 2017, he reached his first milestone when he signed a record deal with Mavin Records and became a member of the Mavin Family.

The scientist turned rapper grabbed the opportunity to prove his talent when he featured in the single “Feel Alright” released by Show Dem Camp in 2017. The artist’s rapping prowess shook the hearts of many Nigerians and became the center of attention in the following months.
