Chocolate City has parted ways with its first female rapper, Pryse, joining the likes of Brymo, Milli and Ice Prince who have also left the label.

Signed in 2012, Pryse’s time with the label didn’t yield any album, with a number of solo singles and an appearance on the group’s 2015 album, The Indestructible Choc Boy Nation (TICBN) being her main highlights.

The label put out the statement through its official Twitter account, declaring Pryse free from her contractual obligations. It also revealed the rapper has floated her personal label.

‘As @itspryse begins her new label I.C.O.N. Music Group, Chocolate City Music releases her from all further contractual obligation.’
