Eclipse

Nkasiobi Chukwu (born July 23, 1991), better known by his stage name Eclipse, is a Nigerian hip-hop recording artist and rapper. He rose to fame after winning the 1st edition of the Beat FM & Hennessey sponsored VS Class Competition.

Eclipse taught himself how to produce and began writing songs while still at The University of Nigeria. He was also an on-air presenter (OAP), where his warm and ready wit—and his penchant for answering listeners’ questions in cheeky rhymes—soon won him a sizeable listening audience. Eclipse became a popular fixture on the South Eastern Nigerian rap scene, where his witty lyrics and condescending demeanor earned him the pseudonym "The Demigod" — and eventually led to his being crowned King Of The South-East in 2011, after an all-night battle royale with the region’s 13 best MCs.

2012: AbOriginal Productions

Shortly after relocating to Lagos, Eclipse signed on to AbOriginal Productions after a meeting with Ikhane Akhigbe, CEO of the Company who had been impressed by Eclipse’s performance on an old track: “Still Breathing”.

Eclipse has won several awards including being crowned champion of the inaugural editions of popular Nigerian Rapper, M.I Abaga’s MADC Fight Night, and the Beat FM & Hennessey-sponsored VS Class.
