Ice Prince described the experience as unbelievable, recalling how the track took him across the continent. Im going to Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Ghana, Cameroon… South Africa. God is great, man. But behind that success was over a decade of unseen hustle. I was in the studio for 11 straight years, he said. No school, no real job.
