Today on Crea8torium, we have one of the most defining voices in African hip-hop. A storyteller who’s shaped sound, shifted culture, and stayed standing through every wave that tried to hit him.
With millions of fans, countless awards, and a career spanning over 15 years, M.I remains the most influential voice in African hip-hop. But beyond the bars, he’s shaping the future—mentoring the next wave of creators and building TASCK, a groundbreaking platform empowering African artists to own their stories and their careers. MI is redefining legacy, one powerful step at a time.
But today, we’re here to talk about more than the man behind the music. The thinker. The builder. The creator. The human who’s learnt to navigate fame, silence, pressure, and purpose all at the same time. This conversation is about passion, grounding your purpose, mental health, and building with longevity in mind. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to not just become great—but stay great, while also staying you—this one’s for you.
