Lead Belly's Birthday

Next Fri, I'm hosting a radio show celebrating Lead Belly's birthday.
What I need to know is how to pronounce Fantastic Negrito

man he must be old

i would have bet he was dead by now

 

He's so old that he was dead before he was famous. (born 1889)

Is it pronounced.

n [eh] gr [ee] to

n [ih] gr [eh] to

or
n [ih] gr [ee] to


[eh] as in "met"
[ee] as in "feat"
[ih] as in "sit"
