Talented rapper John Conteh, musically known as, Nhoj was born on th 1st of june 1990 in freetown, Sierra leone as a a chrismus of spirituality. He is a holder of diploma in intercultural mediation. 

He works as an interpreter at a territorial commission in italy. Nhoj is a very open-minded person who looks through a monster to see the real monster standing behind. In may 2023, he came into the music world unprepared to stay. His debut song, “SO SOON” is considered by many a masterpiece thanks to the message, concept, and lyricism it carries . It is the first song that hit my soul, but the scars it left have become my psychologist, comforter, and second life. He is a high hope hustler who always shoot for the moon because he knows if he miss, he will hit the stars. 

The feedback from his debut song are the reasons he want to dedicate a great portion of his remaining life to speak out the silent that could unlock the positive change africa has been longing for. So soon! (e too quick) in krio is the most spoken language in sierra leone which means a surprisingly short time and it's the title given the song.

” Why have we forgotten so

soon” is the question used by the

rapper as a basement upon

which he constructed a strong

message reminding

Sierra Leone o f the importance of

peace. By throwing light at the

11 years of civil that left the

country bleeding scars.

Sierra leone has faced series of

violent protests, the left tens of

both law enforcement personnel

and civilians death .

Nhoj believes that the manner at

which Sierra Leone violently

take to the street to express their

discontent, projects the absence

of the devastating brutal image

of the 11 years of civil war in the

mental archive of the people. 

The rapper bets on the road to a

less violent and more or insecure

Sierra Leone is built on the

strategy of rebuilding the brutal

mental imagery of the war.
