“Am highly disappointed in this guy, he is a bloody liar, how could a grown man like this be telling lies,na GOD go punish who dey lie,”

Eedris Abdulkareem, Eddy Montana and Tony Tetuila in 1997 formed the Redemies group.
The group got signed to Kennis Music and released their first single ‘Shakomo’ which became an instant hit as the first Nigerian hip-hop song to enjoy massive rotations on local stations.
The trio soon followed this up with singles like ‘Sade’ and ‘Judile’, but just as the fame began to spread, so also did disunity set into their midst, leading to the exit of Tony Tetuila from the group.
