HENCH received recognition following his feature on MI Abaga’s
Illegal Music 2 hit track ‘Ridiculous’.Respected for his incisive
lyrics and intuitive freestyle skills, this is the dude who gave us
the epic line: ‘if you ain’t tryna be rich then you ain’t broke
enough’. The track titles have gotten us curious and utterly excited.
