A Lagos taxi driver ran away with my demo CD - Mr. Raw

One of the icons of Hip Hop in Nigeria, Mr. Raw who also doubles as a pioneer of indigenous language hip-hop in Nigeria. During a recent interview Mr Raw revealed the obstacles he faced when trying to blow up his music career. He mentioned an incident with Klint da Drunk, his former group mate, when a cab driver who brought them to Lagos for a talent hunt absconded after they left their demo CD in the car. The situation was saved by a sympathetic studio hand who agreed to transpose their music to a digital format. Soon after, he said, he came second in the Star Quest music show and his life changed forever.
