A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Voodoo (Agu Obiakor) has made a name for himself as one of underground hip hop’s most talented and prolific artists. Mr. Voodoo starting rapping around the mid-80s.

Originally a co-host on J-Smooth’s “Underground Railroad” radio program on NYC’s WBAI (99.5 FM) in the early 1990s, Mr. Voodoo went on to become a founding member of the group “Natural Elements” before releasing a series of independent records following the group’s indefinite hiatus.

Members of the “Natural Elements” included:

Current – L Swift, A-Butta & Mr. Voodoo
Past – Charlemagne, KA, Howie Smalls, Dante Pachino, The InTIMidator, & G-Blass

Throughout his career, Mr. Voodoo released many singles such as “Come Off Hard” (1994) and the “Lyrical Tactics” 12" in 1996, which featured another popular track entitled “Hemlock”.

Co-founding Hemlock Records in 2002, Mr. Voodoo has since begun using his given name, Agu, professionally (which was also the name he used when he was the co-host on the Underground Railroad in the early 90s).
