I recorded it in mid-2008 and released this song in the early days of 2009. It went on to be one of the greatest songs of the decade. Thanks to my managers (Ayo Rotimi and Tokuchukwu Umezulike) and the Super talented producer Patrick Mathias who saw the vision and We made a monster tune for all the unsung heroes and all the people of this amazing planet…… listen, enjoy and I hope this song helps you unlock all the amazing things you never knew you possessed.

Champion Original

Ibrahim Majekodunmi, better known as General Pype, is a pioneering Nigerian reggae/dancehall artist and songwriter, who largely popularized the genres not only in West Africa, but across the continent through the success of hits like “Champion,” “Mash It Up,” and “All The Loving,” featuring Burna Boy and Phyno. A classically trained vocalist who incorporates elements of hip-hop, R&B and pop into his riddims, Up Coming EP “ Obalende to the World “ Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Pype began singing classically at a young age, when he stumbled upon the choral group while attending St. Gregory’s Secondary School in Obalende, in 1998. The group grew to become the 30-man Triumphant Chorale Voices, one of the top three orchestral groups across the country, whose success allowed Pype to tour the continent.After a music hiatus since his last single “Mash It Up” in 2018 to take care of his family, and pursue his education as a set designer at Georgia Film Academy, Pype is back and ready to share everything much anticipated singles,collaborations and EPs with the diaspora, and the world.
