Ice Prince On The Road To come Back With “Excellency”

‘Excellency’, Ice Prince's new single, it seems, has the quality to be that song to stimulate a renaissance. Ice Prince won the "Award for Best International Act (Africa)" at the 2013 BET Awards. But has his music been turned off? Or has it just been a function of some factors not aligning to give the singer a hit? With a profile that far supersedes the actual work he has put out in the past two years, ex-Chocolate City swag king has had trouble leading the charts (or the dance floors) with substandard releases, which both fail to capture the pop music enthusiasts, and also further alienates the Hip-hop crowd that are yet to disown him as one of their own. This year, his last release ‘Chike’ was the summary of his career in the past two years. Much spark, but no durable substance. The singer seemed to have lost his way, as his chase for relevance via pop sounds, has skewed his essence beyond recognition. Ice Prince’s music has been stripped of any style, substance and cognitive value. The only Ice Prince in his songs was his vocals. Ice Prince’s music got reduced to his vocals.
