ALBUM PREMIERE: ILLEGAL MUSIC 3 (THE FINALE) - M.I

Chocolate City‘s President and Rap phenomenon, M.I Abaga, has finally released the highly anticipated and long awaited Illegal Music 3 (IM3) | The Finale.

According to M.I:

“At this stage in my career and life, finding the time to record another Illegal Music was purely a labor of love. I hope that Nigerian HipHop will rise and claim its place at the table on Hip-Hop’s mount Olympus.

I would like to see a lot of rappers remix and recreate the song ‘The Box‘.

The team was GPLUS, Ckay and I. And I want to appreciate them for their love in making this ‘FREE’ project. LOL.

Fortitude, T3WMF, Black Child thank you. Yoye Hayba, thanks for being the A&R on this project. Toda Kafang, you are the greatest thanks for pushing me always. CC I got you always. TMXO and Yung Kheengz thank you for your contributions.

To the fans.. I love you #LoveYours.”

I'M BETTER THAN 95% OF RAPPERS IN AMERICA - M.I ABAGA

With the iLLegal Music 3 mixtape #IM3TheFinale set to drop any moment from now,M.I Abaga has just made the bold claim that he’s better than “over 95%” of rappers in the United States. He also goes ahead to say #IM2 is as good a mixtape as any mixtape or album we’ve seen in recent years, home and abroad. Interesting set of comments. See his tweets below.

Agree or Disagree?

If IM3 is better than these Yankee rappers albums will you guys be honest and say the truth????!!!!

IM2 took at least 10 rappers no one had heard of and put them on the map.. Name a Yankee mixtape that has done same.. #IM3TheFinale
