The acronym N.U.T.T.Y. stands for New Unit Truly and Thoroughly Yielded in Christ. Born 

Joshua Acheme Edache in Makurdi, Benue State, he is the first and only male, of three 

children. 

Nutty Josh began rapping at the age of 16, albeit as a secular artist. All that changed, 

however, when he personally committed his life to Christ at age 18 and he went ‘crazily 

Gospel’! He kept to his love and talent for rap, but yielded his passion and ability to God. 

He has steadily grown not just artistically, but also in the anointing on his life and in his 

reliance on the Word. He is totally sold out to reaching young people all over the globe with 

the Gospel of Jesus Christ via the vehicle of hip hop and in pursuance of this vision, began 

a God-given vision called GRA (Gospel Rap Affair) in 2004. The annual event has seen the 

convergence of many anointed rap and R & B ministers and the release of a Mixtape album.

In 2008 and 2010 Josh ministered at the nationally acclaimed Jam Mega Festival alongside 

notable artists like Midnight Crew, Micah Stampley, Chevelle Franklin and Don Moen.

Nutty Josh released ‘Yield’, his debut album in May 2010 amidst rave reviews. Since then, he 

has been in great demand to minister to youth and older persons alike. He has been a great 

part of the campus-focused Redefinition tour which features Gospel greats like B.O.U.Q.U.I., 

Kore, Rooftop MCs, Nikki Laoye, Midnight Crew and Eben.

NUTTY Josh was nominated in the National Gospel Awards in the category of best rap 

artiste (www.thescepters.com) along side nominees like bouqui, ambassage, deleke and 

dmsquared and emerged winner of the best rap artiste title.

Recently, NUTTY josh teamed up with bouqui and a few others in hosting Da T.R.U.T.H, 

AMBASSADOR, JAHAZIEL and SEAN SIMMONDS, all artistes of the U.S based record label 

called XIST MUSIC, in concerts in Lagos, Abuja, Jos and Portharcourt.
