Born Bennett Obeya, PDSTRN (Pronounced Pedestrian) is a rapper, singer and songwriter on the
rise in the world of hip hop & afrobeats. Born in Lagos, Nigeria and raised
in Toronto, Canada, PDSTRN adopts a unique approach to his career by infusing
delicate topics such as addiction, heartbreak, vulnerability and raw emotions
in his music.
PDSTRN, who represents the “Never stop Never settle” spirit of Hennessy, is a returning contestant to the VS Class, started this VS class journey at the Lagos auditions where he competed with over a thousand MCs from across the country for a spot in the class. Going up against fellow finalists; Precious Dozi, Teddy, Fozter, Thello, Erena Blaq, Zez, King Jahvid, he earned his crown in a stimulating final battle with Barelyanyhook.
The faceoff between PDSTRN and Barelyanyhook for the title in the final round had both rappers tapping deeper into their creativity. It was evidently a hard call for the judges to make, as both talents gave a worthy final battle. PDSTRN could barely contain his excitement at his win:
“I’m so elated… I am grateful for being in
this position right now. Shout out to Hennessy, it’s so crazy what they are
doing for the culture and I hope they continue to do it to the end of time, cos
rappers out here need that”
Deeply rooted in urban culture, Hennessy
reaffirms its commitment to discovering and incubating talented and budding Hip
Hop stars with the Hennessy Artistry VS Class platform.
