Limoblaze (Samuel O. Imo) born on October 25th 1995 hails from Igbere- Bende local
govt. in Abia state Nigeria. Born and brought up in Makurdi-Benue state,
discovered his musical abilities at a tender age of 8 when he started
singing in the children's church choir. Also at this age he came in contact
with rap music and started miming the songs of rappers like Eminem, 2pac,
50 cent etc. And then he went on to write his own lyrics, they weren't good
enough at first, but he kept on writing. Years went by in this practice
until he became a well known lyricist in school and earned himself the
nickname of "microphone 1da boy" fashioned to "1daboyofficial". Up to this
point he never knew of Christian rap, all he rapped about was money, cars,
fame ,etc. Untill he came to know and fell in love with the music of
Christian rapper Lecrae and later on others like Da truth, the Ambassador,
Trip lee, Kb, Andy mineo, Tedashi, Sho Baraka, swoope, Pro ,etc.
He found what he described as the spirit of God mixed with love, hope and
faith in this Christian rap songs as opposed to the emptiness he always
felt inside him after listening to and writing circular songs. And so he
changed his musical fashion/message and embarked on a mission to discover
and show Christ to the world through his lyrics. He officially started his
career as an independent/unsigned recording artist with his 1st song
"memories" (dedicated to his classmates) after leaving high school and it
was a perfectly enjoyed song by every listener. He went on to record songs
like Amazing Grace, Mercy, Unconditional Love, Wrong Ways, Grace Talk
(intro), Pain, Misfit, For the King which features an american rapper Los
of hga and So Far gone. Also to his credit are a couple of collaborations
and freestyle sessions. He promises to keep it coming. Currently a founding
member of the Cross Rhythm Music crew of 5, and affiliated with 2corf North
