Wande Coal, Sean Tizzle, Lil Kesh – Which One Of These Artistes Desperately Needs To Go Back To Their Old Label?

It is no lie that the music propaganda of some
of our favourite industry idols haven’t exactly
been on form of late. The reasons for these
vary from a false sense of arrival to sheer
pride, a lack of structure perhaps on the part
of management, a wrong career decision and
especially, pure laziness.
This post examines the careers of three such
firebrand artistes – former YBNL soldier, Lil
Kesh ; Sho Lee crooner, Sean Tizzle ; and Black
Diamond star, Wande Coal. Our job here is
simple, since we’ve highlighted the facts for
you to discuss, we require that you tell us who
amongst them desperately needs to have a
rejoinder with their former label.
Lil Kesh
Although he might be too quick to label his
solidarity with the YBNL crew, but the fact
still remains that there’s an obvious void in
the operations of his music business since
transitioning to his self-owned label, YAGI
Records. It is possible that Keshi’s vision while
in alliance with Olamide who is still a tried
and tested baron of the streets, might not be
the same as now that he has ventured out on
his own. I perceive that it has dimmed a little
bit
While many people still tout his debut album
as one that had stylings of greatness
embedded in it, Keshi is done, already dusted
up and has even moved on quickly to other
things like the very easy to forget Kojo and the
mildly-appealing Shele Gan Gan . I can’t be the
only one who has thought that such satisfactory
results are quite unusual for the back-to-back
lyrical hits monster.
Sean Tizzle
Whether he is with or without an actual music
talent, that’s not even the question here. All
we know is that Sean had a system that
worked effectively for him until he decided to
spoil it with his very own hands. Sources have
it that a dirty ego, an ungrateful heart and a
false sense of whether-it-was-but-I-can’t-tell-
you-what-he-was-thinking, pretty much did
him in. Some say he became obsessed with
looking the starboy part hence the unevenness
in the tone of his physical appearance while
others have it that it was comedian
Basketmouth who drove in the final 6-inch
nail that sealed his career coffin.
You see, these are laughable yet strumming
rumours which my place negates me from
validating. However, upon closer observation
you find that Sean hasn’t really gravitated off
course in terms of musical approach or style.
He remains unchanged. But it’s still a baffling
thought why his career suffers a deficiency in
sustainable relevance. I wonder why, I
honestly wonder why.
Wande Coal
His inability to stay afloat since cutting ties
with the Mavins shows it was a terribly wrong
move decision. Not only has Wande Coal
slacked badly in his creative persona, he has
also failed woefully trying to strike gold in
replicating the same formulas that equated
into his many many instantaneous music hits
while under the Don Jazzy-led leadership. The
painful part is that he is so much of an actual
talent but he seems to be wasting away on
things of folly that aren’t doing him any good
in abating his present plight.
Wande normally should be leader of the new
school cult where Wizkid, Davido, Tekno and
the Kiss Daniel likes have domineered. Even
more painful is the fact that these guys who
looked up to him are now the ones
experiencing better career advancement than
him. I mean somebody called Di’Ja was at
Coke Studios last year, producer Shizzi is
signing a deal with Sony Music Africa and
then they’re calling Dotman to perform at the
BBN eviction show. Wande needs to wake up
and own his new reality.
