Terry. T. Madaki aka Terry Tha Rapman is a versatile M.C with hot venom.

He was known then as Terryfic. He then, featured on a talent show on DITV Kaduna called “Beatz of our Tyme” shortly after he graduated from secondary school. He even, wrote and produced the theme song. He graduated started creating a name in Kaduna State where he spent almost twenty years, in the ghetto neighborhood of Ungwan-Dosa.

They released several joints that had air play in Kaduna, one of the songs 
featured Six foot plus , who Terry knew through a talent show(beats of our tyme) their fame earned then a review in the Hip-Hop ( a fast selling Hip Hop magazine in Nigeria). After several frustrating attempts at trying to get a record deal, the crew disbanded. Terry went to Kaduna polytechnic to get a National Diploma in Mass Communications. He graduated and after the February 2000 Sharia riots erupted in Kaduna, he had to relocate to Jos (Plateau State) like a lot of Christians because of security reasons.
In Jos he waxed a five track demo CD and sent it to Lagos, where it got airplay in the Rhythm FM by DJ EL Dee (a member of SwatRoot) and it caught Six Foot Plus attention who was there then in Lagos promoting his ‘Millennium Buggin’ single which was executively produced by Solo Dee in Abuja F.C.T, Six foot plus then got in contact with Terry in Jos, hooked him up and the rest is history. Terry the Rapman is currently signed to payback tyme records. He is one of the hottest sought after rappers in Nigeria.
