An album from the Chocolate City Music vice-president, Ice Prince, is expected in 2016 as the label’s President and rapper, M.I is expected to release his fourth album, Young Denzel.

Ice had a quite 2015 expect for the hit- Boss. He however needs to gather momentum for the release of his third album unless he wants to pull a Beyonce.

Vector

Vector

Bagging two heads at the just concluded controversial 2015 Headies awards, Vector should be confident enough to release his third studio album.

After missing out of winning the now controversial Headies award Next rated, the YBNL star is expected to turn his disappointment into blessing with a good debut album.
