The first and major beneficiary in the Grafton-Indispensables saga has emerged. His name is M.Trill. Sources at Grafton's London office told Glitz beats the label has now made M.Trill, a port-Harcourt-based rapper its new priority act after De Indispensables walked out of their contract. Grafton CEO Tonye Ibiama, who confirmed this to us also corrected the notion that the rapper is a new act on the label. 'Mtrill has been with us for like four years now. He was just waiting for his time, because all the energy was going into De Ind. He's been very patient and now that this has happened, we want to give him our best shot'.
The rapper's album, featuring 2shotz, Korkormikor and other acts is expected soon.
And there are unconfirmed reports he is recording a song to 'dis' De Indispensables.
In a telephone chat with Glitz beats, he declined to comment on the said song.

Meanwhile, De Indispensables are apparently not weighed down by the likelihood of a court action against them.
The duo of Lenny B and Tick Lips, who have since retuned to their Niger Delta base are forging on with their post-Grafton careers.
And the first step in that direction, according to a reliable source, is the floating of their own label. Called 'Ijaw Boyz Entertainment, sources say the label has the backing of a south-south state government.
