First to emerge were Black Diamond of Mo Hits Wande Coal and Lady's manD’Prince (Omoba) followed by Dr SID and then when his presence was felt it was awesome.

He went round and shook the hands of all present and personally apologizing for keeping them waiting. Taking his sit among his colleagues in the label he still greeted them and one would wonder at such meekness….”ehennnn”. He still apologized once again for being late.
