Ice Prince is a Nigerian Rapper that is currently on the rise in his country, and about to blow up into the international market. He had been doing the Rap thing underground for many years, but it wasn't until he got with other superstar rappers, M.I and his brother Jesse Jagz in 2004 that his rap career started taking shape. He is signed to Chocolate City Records (the same label that houses M.I and Jesse Jagz). His first big exposure came as a guest on M.I's Blaize track off the Talk About It album in 2008.His real name is Panshak Zamani, which explains why he is sometimes called Ice Prince Zamani. He was born in Minna, Niger state in Nigeria, but his family moved to Jos, in Plateau state when he was 2 years old. He has since moved down to Lagos, where is considered the music capital of Nigeria.
He has been featured by other top Nigerian artist like Banky W, Kel, Terry Ta Rapman, Wizkid, Mo Cheddah, YQ, and Suspect just to mention a few. But, his career sky-rocketted after he released his first official single last year; Oleku was released sometime in 2010, and it became the biggest track of the year. The success led to high anticipations for his debut album. He has since released a second single titled 'superstar', and shot a very colorful video for the song in 2011.
Ice Prince is finally going to drop his first album, Everybody Loves Ice Prince on 0ctober 9 2011.
