It all began with a beat: IBK, Teeklef & Opzy win Don Jazzy’s ‘Enigma’ competition

by Ada Igboanugo

It all started with a beat.

Prolific Producer and C.E.O of Mohits Records, DonJazzy together with NotJustOk.com came up with a competition for fans and lovers of music alike. The beat titled “Enigma” was put up for free download to anyone who could come up with a suitable music. This was a chance for those who always wanted a Don Jazzy Beat to finally do what they did best, but that is not to say they didn’t have a lot of ‘misfit’ entries – even from Chigurl herself.

After reviewing over 1,800 entries for the #Enigma Beat Competition in the space of one week, 3 weeks of recording, screening, voting (34,410 votes from different parts of the world), the Top 10 Finalists were released. The public then voted for these artistes according to their brilliance, and the top 3 winners were finally picked.

Below are the winners:

IBK

IBK who acquired 38% (13,214) of the votes – making him the winner of the competition and whooping the grand sum of $2000 – is a music producer, rapper, singer/song-writer, born and raised in the city of Warri in Delta State. Better known for his music pairing with Soul crooner, Bez, Ibk has been able to make himself known in the music industry. With the production name MARTIANSHIP and a genre of music that’s out of this world, he is gradually carving a niche for himself.
