Joachim Ikazoboh, is a rap phenomenon who epitomizes the true essence of the Nigerian mentality, which is “success against all odds”. He spent his childhood life in a military based environment in the ‘Crocodile’ city (Kaduna) before moving to Lagos to pursue a university education, which he manages to juggle effortlessly with his budding musical career. Loose is by far one of the most versatile rap acts on the Lagos circuit… an intelligent lyricist, that is as comfortable riding on a commercial beat as he is throwing punch lines on the more underground beats. Be it in English or ‘Pidgin’, his swagger (style) is often described as ‘ti poju’ – meaning, too much in Yoruba. And it is no wonder: with musical influences that include the likes of Notorious B.I.G, Lil Wayne, Jay-z, Nas, Rick Ross, Kriss Kross, and Fela Kuti.

His most memorable and notable outing to date, was his performance at the 2007 Felabration concert– an event in memory of the late Afro beat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti- where Loose captivated a 2000 strong crowd. This was a remarkable feat, given that it was Loose Kaynon’s first ever live stage performance.

 

Loose Kaynon, in his own words, is ‘more focused than ever’ on becoming an internationally celebrated artist. He believes that his music will be able to impact on as many lives as possible. He has worked tirelessly, To put together his Much anticipated debut album titled ‘KAN’T LOOK BACK.’ With a long list of sensational collaborations that include MI, reggae icon MAJEK FASHEK, new R&B sensation Chuddy K (who is rated as the next Wande Cole), and Nigeria’s new dance hall sensation PYPE.

Since then, Gotti has invited Loose Kaynon to come on tour with him in the United States after he is done promoting his debut album, KAN’T LOOK BACK. This is an option Loose Kaynon is still considering and plans to take up in the future. Loose kaynon is tipped to feature on a remixed track with international rap superstar AKON, Loose’s label, DDD Entertainment, is currently in the process of wrapping up this deal.
