Ibukun Akingbola was born in Nigeria and moved to Toronto’s Rexdale neighbourhood in 1995 where he grew up immersed in hip-hop culture. He started writing songs at 10 years old and today, the 19-year-old calls Brampton home and performs under the moniker I.B.Kredible.
His songs play like recipes for pop music success with high production values and lyrics common amongst rappers such as the chart-topping Drake. With slick production, well-managed samples, and tight, consistent lyrics, Kredible’s songs should have no problem fitting into playlists at clubs, gyms, and on music television.
His first single, “My Life is a Movie” was recorded with his group StacDeck Music. Kredible says: “’My Life Is A Movie’ represents a direct description of what the song is about and what it means. When people hear about the song, I want them to be able to view the lyrics as though I was telling the story of their lives.”
It’s this balance of pop accessibility and honesty that makes Kredible stand out from other independent hip-hop acts. “My Life is a Movie” or “Gettin’ High” play like they already belong on top-40 radio. And while many might be quick to brush off the pop side of hip-hop, there’s no denying that the masses love it; so why not root for one of our own to succeed?
