The rapper, however, told Life and Beat that inasmuch as he would like to be seen as a replica of his father, he had chosen rap, which "is like a second nature to me."
"I'm a rapper," he said, "and I had started even before my father died. I'm not one of those who want to remain under the shadow of their fathers. I want to create my own identity. I'm proud to be Oliver De Coque's son and everything he was noted for while alive; but I play a different genre of music. High-life, to my dad, was his love and he made a name and fame out of it; I rap and by the special grace of God, I'm making a name and fame out of it."
While unveiling the artiste, Sam Uba, the management consultant to Kaycee Records, said the record label was proud to bring the musical prodigy on board and hoped to celebrate his success in the music industry in the very near future.
The others unveiled were Kelvin Ikechukwu aka Snappy; Uche Nwobi aka Swith Barry; Maureen Uzoigwe aka Mel D; Southend and Seaflo. Apart from Safin and Mel D, all others play high-life, which remains a popular brand, especially in South-East Nigeria.
