ICE PRINCE LAUNCHES SELF-OWNED RECORD LABEL

 Just like his mentor, M.I. Abaga who is signed to Chocolate City and also label owner for Loopy Musik, rap entertainer Panshak Zamani aka Ice Prince has unveiled his self-owned record label with an official announcement scheduled for a later date.

The label, Super Cool Cats has always been Ice’s dream and has now materialized into fruition. Speaking with MTV UK last year, the rapper said…

“There’s Super Cool Cats music, my new outfit, and I have a few artists that I want to introduce to the world. There’s a girl called Ruth and a guy called Stunt. They’re all super cool cats. And there are a lot of producers in that outfit as well.”

                                              
 While Stunt just released his debut single ‘Ojukokoro’, Chocolate City CEO, Audu Maikori has expressed his excitement about the growth of his label acts.

He further and quite clearly too that Ice Prince will not encounter any challenges associated with his Chocolate City dealings and that of managing his record label.

 Instead, he pledged to continue their show of support. Hear him.

“We are very happy with it, there’s no friction between both labels.” Audu told Hip TV.

“Ice Prince also has Super Cool Cats, which is his new imprint and it’s coming out soon, one of the things Choc City set out to do is to be the mother body and create that platform for others to grow and we have encouraged that actively by supporting their projects.”

O.C Ukeje, who is a nominee of the Best Actor category, couldn’t hide his excitement at the idea. According to him, it was a laudable one and deserved a lot of commendation;

“It’s a great feeling to know that our efforts do not go unnoticed. As actors and movie makers, we put in so much work into what we do, all in a bid to please our viewers and it feels absolutely amazing that we can be rewarded when we do it right. Big Kudos to Amstel Malta” he said.
