Reggae singer Patoranking on Wednesday thanked rapper Reminisce for giving him a shot in 2012 when he was unknown.

Igbere TV reports that the 30-year-old posted to Twitter a picture of Reminisce’s 2012 album Book of Rap Stories, saying he was grateful for the opportunity.

He said, “God bless You @IamReminisce Real OG before IG…You gave me a shot in 2012 to be on your album When no one knew who I was…Thank You Alaga. Grateful.”

Patoranking started as a street jam and carnival dancer before his music career kicked off.
