Nigerian rapper Mr Real made a rapid ascent to stardom with his undeniable 2017 street-hop anthem, "Legbegbe." With a hit song to his credit and features on prominent cuts by <a href="spotify:artist:5RCdjio4ASMQ8CFaSuAl6C">D'banj</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5alyYFXdTtyHueFr7XQnGq">Jaywon</a>, he soon landed a major-label deal and made a prolific run of follow-up singles and collaborations with acts like <a href="spotify:artist:1VsvlBp2dqKk2g9EVFvxXg">CDQ</a> and Slimcase.
Born Okafor Uchenna Victor in Lagos State, Mr Real developed a gritty, rhythmic street-hop style and at one point was a member of the rap group Plantashun Boiz, which also included Faze and <a href="spotify:artist:2n4DcAtRMvfyRX3ljeC8Kp">2Face Idibia</a>. Active since the mid-2000s, his rise to fame was a slow one and he cut his teeth working on tracks with artists like Klever Jay, Seriki, and Terry G. His breakout came in 2017 with the release of "Legbegbe," a street anthem that topped charts around the country and name-dropped iPhones 1-8 in one of its hooky refrains. Suddenly a public commodity, Real earned a Best Rap Artist nomination at the 2018 Headies and won a Nigeria Entertainment Award for Hottest Single of the Year. Features on tracks by DJ Neptune, <a href="spotify:artist:5alyYFXdTtyHueFr7XQnGq">Jaywon</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6UJMc7CLW0JpsbdIke13nU">DJ Lambo</a> followed, as did a label deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sony%22">Sony</a>. He continued to establish himself with tracks like 2019's "Onigbese" and the 2020 Tplan collaboration "Falipupa." ~ Timothy Monger
