Born and raised in the city of Warri in Delta State, this dude is the perfect example of genius! Good things do emerge regardless of geographical location. The music producer, rapper, singer, song-writer, has decided to make his presence felt in the industry and add value to the world via his music. With the production name MARTIANSHIP and a genre of music that’s out of this world, he is gradually carving a niche for himself. He is the past, present and the future, “Amazing” is the word. This is IBK aka Spaceshipboi.

2nd PLACE: Teeklef – Enigma (The Klef Mix) – 23% @ 7,864 Votes
Born to Chief and Chief Mrs. Boniface Unogu of Owerri-Nkwoji village in Imo State, Nigeria. Teeklef’s parents who were both singers in their hay days inspired him into joining the local church choir in Lagos, Nigeria. From leading choir renditions, Teeklef developed into a sensational R ‘n’ B singer, rapper, producer, and songwriter. His dexterity on the piano and drums; alongside his uniquely sonorous voice has earned rave reviews from music pundits.
Teeklef accepted an admission offer to the University of Indianapolis (UIndy) in the United States to pursue a degree in music, which he later abandoned for Human Biology. However, he developed into a campus celebrity performing on every campus-wide event. Soon major campuses in the Midwest including Indiana University Bloomington, IN, Manchester University, Manchester, IN, and the University of Cincinnati, Ohio sought after him.
Teeklef decided to take his music all the way. While attending school he made music in between doing homework and school projects. He then invested every dime he made from his nine to five summer job into his art. Eventually, he single-handedly built his own recording studio. He wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered his own songs in the comfort of his studio(s) on one hand while he studied on the other, creating a balance.
Teeklef began to land gigs at local clubs and arena’s in Indianapolis, Chicago, New Jersey, Orlando, New York, and Texas. He met with local and international artists, collaborating and networking. With the amount of progress he made, the independent artist began work on his first EP – On a C-Rius Note.
The whole project was completed within three weeks and was released on the 24th of July 2010. Prior to its release, it was sent to major record labels including Island Def Jam, Rostrum, Warner Bros, and Atlantic Records; who all gave kudos to the young musicians’ effort. Teeklef recently concluded the Big Bang Tour sponsored by “Vh1 Save the music foundation” and “The Amanti House.” He has his eyes set on making an impact and dominating the music industry with his uniquely creative style of music.
Teeklef gets $1,000 for 2nd place! – CONGRATULATIONS!

3rd PLACE: OPZY – Enigma – 17% @ 5,746 Votes
Opeyemi Akinloye aka OPZY was born on February 2nd, 1995. He’s from Kuta, Osun State. The young act just finished his secondary school education a few months back. He is also known by other aliases such as Omo To Gba Trophy, Oluwa Eminem, Oluwa Twister, and so on. While in secondary school, OPZY took his time to write down lyrics which he sang to his classmates who often applauded him, so that gave him a bit of confidence to keep on writing, so he moved on from singing in his neighborhood only, and he decided he wants to build his career as a songwriter and a rapper, but no one paid the young boy attention considering his age. His First Single “Money Makes Me Swagger” came and went without any impact in the music industry.
This young act has dropped two more recognized singles “JAIYE BI OBA” and ”YORUBA RAP” which were produced by the ace producer Samklef. The two singles are already making waves in different schools, clubs, and bars. His second single “Yoruba Rap” had massive comments, likes, and retweets on notjustOk.com and many other websites and blogs in Nigeria and overseas. This young talented act is currently signed and managed Under GOLDEN RECORDS.
OPZY gets $500 for 3rd place. – CONGRATULATIONS!

Good to know IBK (who I voted for) won. The most creative with the Enigma beat IMO, been a fan since the day I heard 'Tongues'.
Thumbs up to DonJazzy & NotJustOk for this initiative.
teeclef is not tite joor……wat happened to jacinthe………….dey 4 even give vic o 3rd place sef………………..#whyevils
well as long as hoodini spat well on dem beats
no mata d winners kudos to dem doe
Thumbs up IBK. You're the best.
so amazing,so shameful,so same old shit…not so surprised though,of course its a naija thaing,always never straight! notjust ok,donjazzy,y'all need to go 4 some tutorials bout hiphop,rap and freestyling. u said a freestyle contest and u produce these as winners?d beat being touched,singings in a freestyle rap?go down memory lane to rappers dat made hiphop what it is 2day…….kurtis blow,big pun,kool moe dee,jam master flex, NWA, fullsnickins, ll coolcj, big daddy kane,2pac,B.I.G, naughty by nature, doug E fresh,daz efx,public enemy,fugees,rakim,dr dre,easy E,bone thugs, nas,wu tang clan,L.O.X,talib kwalie,dmx and so on……..u should have learn t a lil from dese great heads and know wat rap freestyling is about and not presenting wat i heard from u. a shame, a calamity,but all the same…hiphop leaves……dont get me wrong, these contestants did well in their various respective ways,but this aint freestyle rap,and i say pls ,pls, and pls do not kill hip hop, hiphop is food to the music soul!
why is hoodini not yet?
WETIN DO HOODINI OOOO… NA WA… DA DUDE IS HAWT MEHN!
IBK repping CU datz gud
nice, have got to do better next tym, u will hear from me soon. and you can hail me as weel
im soo disappointed ….none of them are actually good rappers….no punchlines,no flow, nothing to amaze me…nd dis was a *rap* competition , not who could add to d beat and make a gd song…anywys dey tried .!!no hatin jst sayin d truth
rap should not be judged by punchlines only. the most important thing in music is connecting with the audience and maketability. That is what concerns a label executive not punch lines.
Or maybe they sent their profiles in when they submitted their Enigma freestyles…
First of all LMAO @ Rukus who everybody kept hyping at on Twitter. Twitter don't help son.
Then, honestly, i don't see how Teeklef made the Top ten list with that shameful attempt. And Opzy is nice but c'mon, you wanna say Pryse, Rukus or Hoodini wasn't better?
IBK is a bag of talents and he was most definitely the most creative with the beat. However, was that a rap attempt?
Too many contradictory flaws..
But all in all, Nigeria won! Big ups to Don Jazzy and NotjustOK
then again people voted not don jazzy and notjustok
why buffing??/ HATERZ
I honestly do not know how Teeklef made it to the top 10 not to talk of coming 2nd…ohhhh noooooo
y isnt my boy mateo in d top 10 sef
pls notjustok and don jazzy hw can dis b d top three of a rap competition is dis wat u ppl think rap is..out of almost 1800 how can dis b d winners…ders sumin fishy abt dis ..cmon listen to teeklef wats dat abeg..bad way of potrayin nigerian upcoming rappers ….
Take this from me "Teeklef" will make a big fame in the industry… i dont knw him he dont knw me… but his vocal is 60% and his look n style is 90% n thats what the game need… respect to the winner two 1 luv
Young shall grow man , i am so happy you OPZY I VOTED FOR and make sure many people do , i am very happy for you , you gonna take over YORUBA RAP you better watchout haha …….Enigma , Eniba lo mo , lol ……………… love the way he rap man
On a much lighter note i must say this election was characterize by rigging, there was alot of multiple and under age voting, ballot snatching, mass thuggery and intimidation. An unconfirmed report also suggested that an official of NJO named OVIE O who is also a renowned member of the PDP was caught stuffing up ballot boxes in a favour of one of the candidates who eventually lost the election. It has also been reported that, the people who where responsible for the murder Enigma are still on the loose and are yet to be apprehended by the police. We are using this medium to appeal to all those who lost the election accept the result in the spirit of sportsmanship and also to remain calm cause an election petition tribunal has been set up to look into the matter.
This is N2M REPORTING FOR MTV BASE.
hilarious one, lol
obviously michael collins isnt no DON afterall………dude, u dont even know ur game.
if @rukuslive didnt win it, if hoodini didnt win it and this gyal tayel -taye lawanson didnt win it.. then i wonder the competence and capability of don jazzy as a music producer. Had to listen and relistento spaceboiship, teeklef and the other wack emcees dat was on the top ten list posted previously thinking there was sumtin in dem i wasnt hearing for dem to have made d list. Don jazzy, u messed up big tym. spaceshipboi aint freestyling..he's singing man, singing a damn song. well considering don jazzy himself sing and danced in a choir too, no doubt who d winner might hv been den. this was all sum bull and a bloody waste of everybody's time. @rukuslive, jacynthe and tayelawanson, u r my champs. damn jazzy.
TeeKlef spat this :: >>>
Hate this or love this/ beef off this I'm above this/ I got the game on my hands men I glove this/ you are jobless

WHy y'all hatin on teeklef and talking Scaff mehn… don't you understand what the Competition is about?? VOTE!!! mutha F ers!!
so its clear that the other Chaps isnt doing well enough to Build their fans #S/O to Fans of Teeklef including maself**
I'm off this page
CHiboy frm Singapore
I beg, allow us to speak without calling it hating i beg. It's called opinion and in my opinion, come on mehn… how did IBK win. Truth be told, his rap wasn't the best… What!!!
Don't know of the winner and the first runner's up, but OPZY killed it! This guy is even better than most Yoruba Rappers we celebrate, though, "life na turn by turn"(in 9ice's voice)… I felt him hard ! Proud of you at your age you could be spitting fire way.
I would love to say a BIG congratulations to IBK Spaceboiship. I had my personal favorite like everyone else but I must say this; no one can deny that you were at your creative best. You had a rap, chorus, bridge and even an outstanding intro and outro, what more can we ask for? I was reading comments and someone said it is a freestyle competition, lol. I guess you need reading glasses. Go back to the poster and you'll see "BEAT COMPETITION". It is what you do with the beat that matters. Rap, sing, or even dance "Akpako bum bum". All join! Also you should know that this is a public voting thing, if you spent more time campaigning for your favorite act, maybe he/she would have been in the top 3. But wait, if them win, shey $1 go reach your hand? Abeg park well. NOTJUSTOK, when I grow up I wanna be just like you. IDJA.
in my own opinion . hoodini was the best sha .
Congratulations to the three winners – this hopefully this will move their music careers to new heights – and to the others who didn't make the cut – don't give up, keep doing your thing.
U all shld shut up wen they said vote wot were ur hands doing?d general public voter n d best won so stop calling names n wake up 2 reality…was don jazzy d judge?we all were dou my candidate didn't win buh dat doesn't mke notjstok n don jazzy less credible @ dez point we shld jst applaud hi Jazzy 4 d beat…thanks boss u r 2much.
this competition started out amazing, with great enthusiasm n all, but o' so surely, that bus is never late.. the good old "nigerian factor" bus. This has ended as a big effin joke. IBK in my opinion does deserve to be in the top 3 of what we've been presented, however, the other 2 dont even come remotely close to being top 50.
The Fact is Everybody can't Win, we all voted and those are the people with the highest Votes, Even if Donjazzy or the Notjustok team picked your choice as the Top Ten others would still complain, So what the hell is wrong with this people insulting Donjazzy and the Notjustok team? Weren't we the ones that voted? Start insulting yourselves for not voting your choice and leave Donjazzy and Notjustok team out of this…..Celebrate the winners so one day you would be Celebrated. A BIG CONGRATS TO IBK,TEEKLEF AND OPZY YOU ARE STARS ALREADY, and to all those who didn't win, You are winners also, God would locate you and show you to the world soon.Its all Love. SALLY.
@RapSpokeman why are You Whinning like a Menstruating Little School Girl with The Retarded Epistle You Have Written About the Competition being a RAP FREESTYLE, if u Believe that, Then its Either U're Blind, Slow, or Just Plain Stupid!, Na So Una Dey Fail For Everything wey Una Dey Do When given Simple Instruction, Where Did you See ''ENIGMA RAP FREESTYLE COMPETITION''….Òdè! #Deluded Conformist!
Congratulations IBK!!! I knew you could do it. This God given talent of yours is going to take you places…
Opzy, gbayii
so excited IBK won!!glad to be associated with with him.Congrats to the other winners also.
ibk , though am not a big fan of rap music, i believe u're GOOD2GO
Lmao
seriously..no beef but hoodini claims both d 1st,2nd n 3rd title…nobody did it better..even heard some iller ones dat didnt make d top 10 list..dont knw if anybody heard d funeral…jes crapp
IBK deserves it, wonderful concept, I like the way he added the thunder and marching effect to the beat, mixing it up and giving it a new feel, and referencing other artist style and kanye's song, starting with the smooth chorus. Also the song makes sense, it tells a story and has weight unlike the other baseless songs. I believe he deserved it. Congrats Spaceship Boi, That's Genius, Love Teeklefs mix especially the way it ended.
Hoodin isnt there cus they didn't vote for him, Take a look at the stats. He should have done more publicity.
what are you implying…?
Its common sense yea, They most likely contacted the top ten and told them to send their profile.
well this is what i think. its a freestyling competition with beat already provided by don jazzy. all the acts needed to do was to do a spontaneous rap (not touch up the beat and/or do an already written song). the top five selected were good with their delivery (although i expected something tighter). for me the only act that stood out and sounded like it was truely a 'freestyle' was Pryse.I had goose bumps listening to her flow and the truth is it just came naturally. she sure is a talent to look out for.
dis three guy are about 2 explode watch out 4 dem wen i heard there songs i was like man we nigerian are blessed
teeklef … hataz go hug transfomer …. gbraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
spaceshipboi is really good
waz part of d contestants…dunno wat 2 say bt this is d link 2 my own enigma….ya'll pls download nd tell me what u think http://www.4shared.com/folder/w7FPj40a/_online.ht….
Guys! Pls don't put up links here. We allowed that on the other #Enigma threads, so u can go back to those ones and leave Enigma links there. Any link that comes after this will be deleted.
No #Enigma links on this thread, guys! Thanx.
OPZY is too nice. i heard matt sesoo is doing a track with him sef. carry go my guy.
I went bk to de original #ENIGMA post – Dese guys must have voted 100 times each! Abeg even proper Naija election no get 35K votes – same person leaving comment everywhere. wey dey track the tin I bet u see same computer haha – shameful! Release the actual votes, dis one no be Naija election! Disparity is too great!
come on.why tell people to contest when y'all already had your winners.lets face it if you had 1800 entries. you would hardly have finish analysing the lyrics,delivery style,clarity ,rhythm e.t.c by now to come up with the top ten talk more of a winner.come on notjustok,dont lose your credibility.you hav a reputation to keep.shout out yall that recorded on the beat .keep doing your thing.one
I voted hoodini because I believe he deserved it but congrats to Spaceboi, teeklef and Opzy.
Opzy omo to gba trophy!
you've made your point. dont b a b***h about it.every one makes mistakes.
Congrats to the 3 thugs …nice work ..IBK was really creative ….really liked oPZY..lol..like the yoruba rap thang going !!…good job njo
congrats 2 d winners…. bt frankly dis aint a production competition its a rap competition ibk's production is cool but i aint feelin dem bars
DON JEZZY UR PRODUCTION IS UNIQUE I LUV U KEEP IT U
hommy is u dumb cus its a rap freestyle fool:
DON JAZZY – Enigma (Instrumental)
It’s a simple hurriedly-done 'freestyle/mixtape beat for rapheads'. We expect y’all to murk it with ease. No excuses!
yeah i tot hoodini killed it
Even tho the winners have already been announced the number one spot definitely didnt belong to IBK . teeklef was definitely better …. and OPZY was on fire… didnt hear the rest so i cant comment on the other acts but IBK should have came in 3rd
wetin you dey smoke OPZY was definitely better than that that spceboi nonsense…. i see another yoruba mc coming to take that rap spot ….in between RIP DAGRIN
hoodini n po deserved to win, they r the best
http://plunder.com/7b8c00bf06 here is i killed it better
spaceshipboi definitely did not deserve the top spot, period!
dis harrison guy yhure just pusshin cuz im very sure that is yhure guy see im nt sure bout the 2nd nd 3rd but 1st??…undisputed…tsukie out!!
Nasty top 3!!!!!!
what d fuck! OPZY….full of SHIT!….Teeklef!..didn't worth 2nd…where's Hudini!..mscheew!..
where's Rukus?..whew!…
Personally I don't think Teeklef should be amongst the top three. IBK wasn't that bad, he tweeked it and made it his; good job but not good enough for $2gz.
Opzy, I found interesting. I love the way his rap (raw talent) flowed with the beat. Da Grin reborn. If this was the top three, I think he shoud've been first.
where's Pryse, d only daring female, wheres Rukus.. 4godsakes who is teeklef, hmmm..evn dis purulent Opzy…
who voted dis guys abeg… na humans abi homo habilis… nawa o..
i think say dis na jst ordinary competition, dem don carry partial go far alrdy.. if signing kon reach nko.. anyway, its Don Jazzy again…
Pryse! was d bomb, bt no worries, babe! more power 2 ya elbow, i look 4ward 2 more effort from u. Big UP!
honestly speaking i think they tried but this dude deserves an audience <a href="http://.http://www.4shared.com/audio/DB2iWONb/Trapstar_-_Enigma_Mic_Rush_.html” target=”_blank”>.http://www.4shared.com/audio/DB2iWONb/Trapstar_-_Enigma_Mic_Rush_.html
Gotta agree… That's exactly what I thought when I heard the winner–too much production, not even talent on the verses. I heard other people do AMAZING things with Enigma, and they didn't change the track AT ALL
FOH!
we r listenin to d lyrics not production, very few were "baseless"
pyres u d best in my own opinion but all d same best luck 2 d winner lov don jazy production
tot Don Baba J was d ultimate decider @1st….anytin involving votes, polls…..must be rigged..kinda naija syndrome. no insult meant!….jst being blunt here….PrinceVince
Respect 2 Don Baba J…..bring anoda beats, no production effects + let d participants make a lil video wit their fonez, cams and wat av u jst 2 shw RAW talent…watchu think?
donJ BABA truck load of respect 4 u and ur ideas…………can i hook up wit u cos im soo skilled in album covers with the aid of a light pen…..i do grafittis also love to se a reply
I like d 3 rappers, but I feel Opzy 4 d Yoruba thing, weldone opzy
Ok, hope this rigging stuff doesn't happen to the dance competition? I just hope, it would give me a heart attack
~Sheesh… you don't like the Opzy dude. That guys just 16!!! I'm not Yoruba but mehn.. of the lot listed.. I think he made a sushi out of that fish!!!~
Keeep hating on a 16 years old dude. *smh* . OPZY is the future
Don jazzy must be high on skunk and rum…were did he put those dope rappers i heard on here..weres radika..weres Po and some other real rappers ..fuck jazzy hes wack
Fuck the votes its not the best way to judge in these kinda competiition imagine that opzy dats straight up crap compaired to other dudes i heard on here…..and am sure the votes were rigged Nah mean…
I'm so pissed! I just heard IBK's original "I Have A Dream" song… so basically he didn't even write an original submission, and won anyway? That's bull.
my exact thoughts when i first heard his enigma entry, but the original was his handiwork, as their was no rule against cloning pastwork, he gets a pass i guess.
He just put one of his old songs on top of the Engima beat. He didn't deserve it.
So many other rappers had ORIGINAL, creative lyrics and didn't touch the beat at all, and they were still amazing.
aight
The result is ''not just ok''. We need to represent the world with the real stroke of hip hop that the beat required. Its all good sha! Kudos to spaceshipboi, teeklef n opzy.
TEEKLEF IS MORE RAPPER BETTER THAN THE OTHER DUDES
opzy na d main man. Keep it up man.
