Press Kit August 2020 Mr Raw aka Okechukwu Edwards Ukeje is a musical visionary! He's one of the pioneers of Igbo Rap, a rap style that uses the Igbo language and Pidgin English. A fusion between traditional and modern, Igbo Rap draws inspira- tion from both its historical Igbo roots and modern African American urban styles! You won't hear anything else like it... and you won't hear another Igbo artist like Mr Raw!
Born and raised in Enugu, Mr Raw made a name for himself in the early 2000s, hitting it big around 2005 with his debut studio album, Right & Wrung. Since then, he's released winner after winner, continuing what would become a streak with Everything Remains Raw and End Of Discussion in 2007 and 2010, respectively. This has continued over the following years, and his latest release at the time of writing, Gentleman, truly showcases how far he's come as an artist.
Mr Raw is a legend in the making - you hear people referring to people like Biggie Smalls and Dr Dre as "the origi- nal greats", well here's one of the original greats of the Igbo genre blossoming right before our eyes! Be sure to hop on the hype train and check out Mr Raw's accurately-described RAW tracks as they release... his social media and Spotify await you!
