Blazing the trail with Caxtro Blade
Caxtro Blade who is a graduate of Crescent University started his musical career in 2010 with his cousin Khalid "the Maphian" like most of his colleagues, Caxtro has had a fair share of disappointments too in the industry, one of such experiences perhaps was promoters telling him his songs are too overrated for the Nigerian music industry but Caxtro never relented on his effort to continue making music with so much effort and hard-work.
I believe he is finally getting the recognition and acceptance he deserves.
Read excerpts from his interview below

● Haven listened to the song Soul cry and Heart bleed written and recorded by you we could conclude it is quite different from other regular Nigerian music. What inspire these songs and their powerful lyrics?
Hmm!!! i can't really say i was never a dope composer of lyrics due to so many years of hardwork,practice and being an intellectual i was able to achieve that feat. I was hugely inspired and motivated by great lyricist like J COLE, NAS, RICKROSS, 2PAC and YUNG6IX during his early years especially the GREEN LIGHT GREEN, he motivated me alot back in school during my dark days.
Some of my friends back in school influenced my love for hip-hop music and i said to myself i want to be as dope as these artists.
It took a lot of work and research to be this dope lyrically but i am happy getting respect from people for my art thats huge!
I inspire people with my music and i know it's just a matter of time before NIGERIANS accept these style.
