Ice Prince announces retirement from regular album releases
After 16 years in Nigerian music since his 2010 breakthrough hit 'Oleku', rapper Ice Prince (Panshak Zamani) will partially step back from regular album releases. His fourth album, 'Testimony of Grace' (featuring Niniola, Boj Luna, Skibii, and others), will be his final full-length project. At age 40 in three years, he plans to study Agriculture at university and pursue farming, citing his Jos roots: 'If you call a person Tomato Jos, that's the best compliment.' The artist insists this isn't due to industry pressure—he still makes good money and gets booked worldwide—rather a desire for new challenges. He'll remain involved through producing new artists and film projects but won't pursue record label executive roles again. 'The office is not for me. Farm is for me,' he stated. Despite retiring from album culture, he vows to continue releasing music occasionally.
