The music industry is not easy as many people think, to blow in the Nigerian music industry requires more than talent, it involves the right management and, perhaps, luck. In the light of this, we will be talking about top 5 indigenous rappers who didn’t live up to expectations.
1. Ola Dips
Before being signed into Reminisce’s LRR record label, Ola Dips has been releasing dope tracks laced with good rhymes and rhythm. After he was signed, many people believe that the vibrant rapper will be the next big thing in the music industry, however things didn’t go as planned, Ola Dips was only able to have only one hit track (Lalakukulala)after spending close to 3 years with Reminisce.
He left the record label and released a freestyle track where he talked about all his struggles in the label. Check out the video below:
2. Davolee
When Davolee got featured on the Pepper Dem track, people’s mouth was left agape. His flows, bars and story telling rap style got everyone talking – A little boy from Ikotun, Lagos state has been signed by Olamide into YBNL.
However, the only hit track Davolee also had was Cirocing. Few years after signing, Davolee also left the YBNL record label to stand up on his own. On the part 4 of Festival Bar EP, Davolee revealed what happened and why he left Olamide’s YBNL.
3. Picazzo
