BIOGRAPHY DA BASIC started their music career during their secoundary school days at Rockland college Jos Plateau State where they formed a music group called Jungle boys, the group was made up of 5 friends namely, Jazzy, Hipas, Calypso, Black ray and Finine who mainly sing, mimed and dance, the group existed for about four years and was unable to withstand the test of time so it disintegrated leaving behind Hipas, Finine and Jazzy who leter formed an accapela group called DA BASIC

Finine and Hipas known as DA BASIC today, which real names are Joseph Ezekiel as (finine) Ikechukwu Egideke as (Hipas) originated from Nigeria but sons of Akwa Ibom and Anambra state, both guys sing and dance very well and their music is areocentric since it combines western and African rhythm in creating a marvelous blend of R&B, Hip Hop and Dance hall songs, their songs surprisingly appeal to both young and old ranging from 0 – 70 years.

DA BASIC, why called DA BASIC, they were caught in an interview where the reveal that since music is the basic aspect of life and they do music, they decided to call their group DA BASIC

DA BASIC recorded a nine track album title AM A BIG BOY in 2008 with tracks like CATCH DA FUN, STAY SAVE(aids is real) DA BASIC, AM A BIG BOY, O-BU-SO-GI(only her), NA JESUS DOAM and the rest of them, and shut the video of DA BASIC under one of the leading studios in Jos BROWNS PRODUCTION, the album did not get enough air play like they anticipated due to some instance able stances and the dropping illness of Finine after he was shut by some unknown men during the time they were about to shoot their second video O-BU-SO-GI(ONLY HER), the first video got some air play for some time but due to financial constraint and economic break down, the video didn’t get enough air play to promote their songs and give the popularity that they dreamt of, but one thing with these guys is that they feel very happy and excited when music is taken to Apex and since they believe that music is the hybrid of art and science one should not relent on his educational pursuit.

Music has always been fun and part of their life style talk about simplicity and social life style, but these they develop interest in, did not affect their academic performance.
