I know I tend to put the hype on things these
days but is it me or has anyone else noticed
how irrelevant Mr little Keshinro has been of
late?
Let me start by saying; I was never a fan of
this kid until the Headies drama after which
he dropped what I tagged the ‘album of the
year’. The YAGI spirit was all up in the air for
the first/second quarter of 2016 when he had
all of us thinking he might be like Olamide or
even dethrone him, only for our dearest boy
to lose focus.
We all know what follows an album is an
array of videos to put the album in our face
for as long as the artiste desires. After barely
dropping two videos off the album, Keshi has
already started looking for a new route; he
dropped the sparsely lyric-ed Kojo and Shele
Gan Gan … oh and the remix to Ibile which
sounded tacky.
The truth is the young champs in the music
industry need to be properly mentored; the
recklessness in our music scene has affected
so many artistes who were highly tipped to
succeed. Artistes should realize that potential
has totally become a commodity everyone can
afford; so just because you have it doesn’t
necessarily guarantee your success. Lil Kesh’s
style is not unique and can fade very quickly,
moreso, it appears he has totally lost the drive
and direction needed to push through.
As much as street music is taking over, there
needs to be orderliness, the street has, and
will always be full of talent but that is not the
only criteria needed to succeed in line.
However, the highlight of Lil Kesh’s career so
far still remains the Headies drama and as
much as we try to deny it, he and Cynthia
Morgan are most probably the ones (from
2015 next rated category) who are not
materializing their huge potential.
With the birth of new street artistes like Wale
Turner, Terry Apala, Oladips and a few
others, the streets have been opened to a
variety of acts with different vibes from
which they can constantly choose who to
stay connected with. Having said, fans will
move on very quickly from any profile act
who devalues putting adequate efforts in
order to stay afloat. The industry has
instances in the persons of Wande Coal,
Iyanya, Sean Tizzle, D’Banj of course and
many more like them. Lil Kesh better check
up or check out.
