Lewisham resident Levi Ojo aka LIGHTZ has won the Boroughs United MC Award for 2017. He competed against some very tough competition to raise the trophy in front of hundreds of people at the Hackney Empire on Sunday evening.

This was his first major performance which makes the feat even more impressive.

His uncle and Manager Zico Ojo, also a musician, said Levi has made his family very proud. ''We hope this is the start of something special. LIGHTZ is dedicated to his craft and also has a natural talent and stage presence which has shone through at the show. His conscious lyrics and charm are sure to push him to higher heights!"
