A DJ, Inegbenekalo Godstime, popularly known as DJ Game in the music and entertainment industry is set to drop an extended play titled, Grateful.

Describing the EP as his debut project, DJ Game said the EP was inspired by his ardent love for music and the influence of his manager, Sir Tido.

He said, “My forthcoming EP which is my debut in the music industry is called ‘Grateful.’ It is coming out on April 2025, and what inspired it was because I have always loved to do music.

“Recently, I met Sir Tido who is my manager in Nigeria. I met him through a friend, Segun Otunlape, aka Tilapia, in New Jersey, USA. We share ideals together and with his experience in the music industry, we were able to pull up the ‘Grateful’ EP.

“The EP featured a lot of fast rising talents, like Moderate, Topskido, Talisman, Dollar Chris and Sir Tido himself. People should stream my EP when it comes out because it was well cooked.”

The EP features emerging talents like Moderate, Topskido, Talisman, Dollar Chris, and Sir Tido—his manager.

But DJ Game’s ambition doesn’t stop at personal success. He recently launched a record label, House of Cubana Entertainments, aimed at discovering and promoting underprivileged talents across Nigeria.

“There’s so much raw talent in our country,” he said. “I want to be a bridge for these artists, to help them reach heights they never thought possible.”

His influences span legends like Fela Kuti, Sunny Ade, and Ebenezer Obey, along with global hip-hop stars.

Hailing from Esan Central in Edo State, and now based in New Jersey, USA, DJGame is not just a DJ, he’s a testament to resilience, passion, and the power of dreams.

The first son in a family of six siblings, DJ Game’s musical journey began long before he ever touched a turntable.

“Music has always been part of me,” he said. “Growing up, my father could never go a day without playing music, and that rubbed off on me.

“Have gone through thick and thin but to God be the glory we made it here. It’s not how far but how well; I have always loved DJ work and music right from growing in the slum.”

Those early influences planted a seed of joy that would later blossom into a full-fledged career.

Even though he couldn’t sing at the time, the energy, the rhythm, and the connection music brought to people was something he couldn’t ignore.

A proud alumnus of Lagos State University, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in History and International Relations, DJGame’s journey was far from easy.

“I grew up in the slums of Agege,” he recalled. “Life was hard, but I was determined not to let my background define my future.”

Looking ahead, DJ Game envisioned himself becoming a key player in the African music industry and beyond.

“In five years, I see House of Cubana producing some of the biggest artists in Nigeria,” he affirmed. “We’re just getting started. Please support the ‘Grateful’ EP. Stream it when it drops, share it, and stay with us on this journey. With God and your support, we’ll keep giving you more.”
