Oritse Femi

Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele (born 5 January 1985)[3] popularly known by his first name Oritse Femi, is a Nigerian singer-songwriter and performer.

[6][3][failed verification] He has cited Fela Kuti, Daddy Showkey and Sizzla Kalonji as his greatest influences and role models.

He attended a music school in Ajegunle owned by Johnny Napp, who often invites Jamaican artists to nurture the growing talents in the community.

However, a few months after the breakup with his group (Junglist Boys) his partner, Chibudo, stage name "Chi-Junglist" released a diss record after Oritse Femi's successful "Flog Politician" became a street anthem in Ajegunle (JMJ Quarters, Tolu, Alayabiagba, Oyewole, etc.).

Attempts by friends and associates of the artists to squash their beef was unsuccessful as it is believed that till date the two (Chi-Junglist and Oritse Femi) still hold grudges with each other.

According to an interview with Anna Okon of The Punch, his first solo single was "Flog Politician" which was released prior to the 2007 General elections.

According to him, the hit track from the album "Mercy of the Lord" was inspired by his personal experiences with worldly things and how the prayers of his mom was able to salvage him by awakening the Spirit of God in him.

He explained that he suffered depression while derailing from the godly upbringing, and considers himself a gospel hip-hop artist.

These albums include; "Wicked World", "Musical Taliban" and more recently "Money Stops Nonsense" sharing the same name as his record label.
