It is no surprise that a lot of youth, internationally and locally, have reached out to be signed to the label, in hopes of achieving their dreams. So far, Chocolate City has an all-male cast as its line up, and the general public have bugged the label to sign a female act. Chocolate City, known for setting trends, decided to bide their time, and look out for the girl that possessed qualities of a Choc BOI – Bold, Original, Innovative. In came a young lady, full of energy and enthusiasm who welcomed the opportunity of being featured along-side, award winning Africa's rapper numero uno, M.I on his upcoming mixtape "Deux Illegaux de Musique – Illegal Music 2". After label heads, Audu Maikori, and Paul Okeugo heard her lyrical prowess on the song "No-tis" (a cover of Jay Z and Kanye West's Otis), they decided to put her through the CC boot camp.

Pryse always knew she wanted to be a musician; encouraged by her family who own and run Frontline TV Studio in Port Harcourt, Pryse took a keen interest in entertainment.
