Duane Dyer, better known by his stage name, Iceberg Slimm (born 1978) is a Black British rapper and founder of Frojak Entertainment who is best known for his singles "Nursery Rhymes", "Bad Boy" and "Starship" taken from his debut album, Da World on Ice. He also featured on Raghav's single, "Can't Get Enough" which charted at No. 10 in the UK Singles Chart.

Jay-Z lyrics on Kingdom Come song:

“Where’s Iceberg Slimm? He was the coldest cat. Get your swag back,

daddy. Where your focus at?”

International Hip-Hop/Rap artist Iceberg Slimm returns with brand new single “CEO” after nearly two decades away from music. Known for his sharp lyricism, metaphor-driven wordplay and authentic storytelling, he has built a distinctive sound that resonated across global stages in the late 90’s.

Becoming one of the first rappers to ever sign to a major label in the 2000’s, his breakthrough single “Nursery Rhymes” (1999) reached No.37 in the UK Top 40 charts. This was followed by the Top 10 hit “Can’t Get Enough” with Raghav and followed  by “Starship” featuring Coree from R&B group Damage also charting in the Top 40.

Produced by Dready, a longtime affiliate of So Solid Crew, “CEO” is a hard-hitting hip-hop record that captures the essence of classic hip-hop production, combining confident lyricism, charismatic wordplay and commanding delivery.

Alongside the original version, Iceberg has also recorded an international version featuring Raghav, whose melodic Hindi vocals introduce the record to the South Asian audiences that have supported Iceberg throughout the past two decades.

Completing the package is a remix produced by Blazin Squad member Marcel “Rocky B” for DMODE productions, blending Afro-inspired Amapiano rhythms with tribal house influences to create a fresh club-ready interpretation of the record.

For years, many assumed Iceberg Slimm had simply walked away from music. The truth was far more personal.

Nearly 20 years ago, Iceberg Slimm put his recording career on hold after his father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Before he passed away, his father asked him to build a career that would allow him to remain in the UK and be present for his younger siblings and his son as they grew up. Iceberg honoured that promise.

Instead of pursuing the music industry full-time, he earned a Bachelor’s degree with Honours in Education alongside qualifications in child psychology. He went on to dedicate his career to supporting permanently excluded students, young people affected by gang culture, and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), working across London boroughs to make a lasting difference away from the spotlight. Music, however, never left him.

Although absent from commercial releases, Iceberg continued performing internationally alongside South Asian superstar Raghav, touring throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America while building a loyal following within the global South Asian and Desi music scene.

Now, after almost two decades, Iceberg says he has found peace with the loss of his father and is ready to finish the chapter that was left unfinished. His new single, “CEO,” marks his official return.

“CEO isn’t just another single. It’s the record that completes a journey I started with my King Man (Dad) nearly 20 years ago. Coming back with Raghav and Dready makes it feel like everything has come full circle.”

The project carries even deeper meaning because Iceberg’s father helped fund the original vision for the record before his passing, making “CEO” not only a creative reunion but the completion of a deeply personal promise nearly two decades in the making.

For Iceberg, this isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about evolution. Returning with greater maturity, perspective and authenticity, he delivers music shaped not only by experience in the industry but by years spent serving his community, raising a family and honouring the promise he made to his

Father.

For Iceberg Slimm, “CEO” isn’t simply a comeback. It’s unfinished business!
