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.[1]
Early life and Music Career[edit]
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.[2] 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.[3]
2012: AbOriginal Productions[edit]
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”.[4]
Awards and Milestones[edit]
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[disambiguation needed]-sponsored VS Class.[5]
