This is a walk through the dreary creeks of the Niger Delta and the complicity on the part of the Government/Multinationals in escalating the Crisis. 

Gbege song ft wordsmith

Poet, Songwriter, Author and Hip Hop Rap/Spoken Word artist....

Plumbline was born in Lagos Nigeria,in his Lagos Island hometown (he will vehemently oppose you if you declare Lagos a 'No man's land'). As a kid, he was influenced by Local Poets like the late Mamman Vatsa and later on caught up with the works of the Late Ken Saro Wiwa. he also read almost anything he could lay his hands upon, including Yoruba
poetry which he will later see as the root of Hiphop. Shakespare and a host of other poets would later make their mark on his mind....

His defining moment was when he heard Kurtis Blow's "Basketball" and "If I ruled the World"...having been on Michael Jackson's pop and Boney M's Discotheque, this was to him a paradigm shift. By the time he was in high school, he started writing his own rhymes and continued till the University. He had a career to pursue, and since no one would
understand a Scientist with a passion for the arts, his pieces were only performed during his stints as Comedian/Musical Programme Anchorman...then a long hiatus followed, in particular as his beloved Hiphop genre began shifting in focus from the "Teacher-Scholar" to the "Pimp-Gangsta"

He would later pick up his pen with a passion to make his mark and bring back the nostalgic old days when hiphop was in the true sense of a movement. He has deep seated convictions which he does not hesitate to lace into his music because he sees the MC as one who tells his story, and that includes his pain, hurt, passion, faith, convictions….and seeming contradictions.
