London-based music artist and producer, THE KELECHI, is set to release his upcoming album, “Conscious Conversational Rap,” on March 19th, 2023.
Born and raised in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, THE KELeCHI grew up listening to American hip-hop artists like 2Pac, Nas, and Queen Latifah. As a teenager, he saw Fela Kuti perform live and was inspired by his stage presence and powerful lyrics.
THE KELECHI’s musical journey was interrupted by a traumatic brain injury in 2002, which left him paralyzed on his left side and led to a fatal pulmonary cardiac arrest. After being clinically dead for over
three minutes, he emerged from a three-month coma with a renewed sense of purpose and a passion for creating conscious, meaningful music.
