Mode9, The Recipie
Making waves through the Nigerian underground rap scene, Mode9 is a hero among the true hiphop heads. But if you’ve missed hearing about him, missed our interview with him, haven’t taken notice or never knew he was Nigerian (based in Lagos), his videos Formidable and Elbow Room get airplay on MTV Base… so nap time is effectively over!
Here’s a fresh earlier music video for the song, The Recipie. The video features mode9, fellow swat root members, a cameo by ruggedman & more! Unfortunately the video stops half-way, but thought it was worth showing anyway.
enjoy.

Wow! I just saw the mode9 video and the guy is nice. Very smooth delivery and nice word play, not the usual 4 bar nursery school style I am used to hearing from naija rappers.

I’m writing from new jersey. He is alright but he needs to let the american swaga go. If he comes over here, people will look at him like another nigerian american wanna be rapper because we have so many of them over here. Why can’t he rap in english like 2 short or ChiiDo who are recognised over here for their difference in both style and the language used.

Who said pidgin english is a shame. Shame on whoever said that. I’m tired of all these africans who have an inferiority complex to the west. Pidgin is one of the greatest things to happen to us. It gives us an individuality that no one outside west africa has. By the way creole is like a french version of pidgin and them peeps hold down their creole to the fullest. Get real and rep urself, son.
