2011 saw a number of collaborations between Nigerian entertainers and their foreign counterparts. Chocolate City’s Ice Prince has now joined the list with his recent hook-up with Jamaican dancehall/Reggae act Gyptian.
Ice Prince seized the opportunity to
work with Gyptian who flew into the country for a quick performance at
the recently concluded Calabar Festival on Friday, December 30, 2011.
The acts recorded a remix to ‘Magician’, a single off Ice Prince’s debut record ‘Everybody Likes Ice Prince’.
‘We’ve been in talks with Gyptian
before he flew in but they meeting in person just accelerated things.
They have recorded a song but will be releasing it later’, Nanle, Ice Prince’s manager tells NET.
Nanle also tells NET that a video for the remix has already been shot. It was directed by Clarence Peters.
