Is Viktoh’s Future A Threat Under YBNL? (Read & Drop Your Comment)

Once upon a time in April 2014,
YBNL boss, Olamide announced the
official signing of two new Bariga-
bred local acts ‘Viktoh ’ and ‘Lil Kesh’.
Olamide said he did this as part of
his effort to give back to the hood
that brought him up and help
recognize and bring up fresh talents
from the hood. True to his word, he
got them off the street and their
professional careers kicked off.
15 months after, Lil Kesh has grown
to be a ‘superstar’ in his own rights.
In just 6 months, November 2014 to
be precise Lil Kesh fulfilled a lifelong
dream when he was up on the stage
along Davido and Olamide at the
Channel O music video awards in
South Africa. His chart topping song
‘ Shoki’ became a viral song continent
wide and has been nominated at
several local and international
awards.
Word on the street however has it
that Viktoh introduced Lil Kesh to
Olamide and convinced he YBNL
boss how good he was before they
both got signed….

newly signed in April 2014)
Whispers around the industry are
already comparing Viktoh’s
experience at YBNL to the famous
‘ Skales’ experience at E.M.E. Really
and truly, Viktoh is talented but
somehow something seems missing
in his career, Much attention I guess.
OUR POINTS
* Is YBNL doing enough to push his
music? Why does he seem to be left
out at most of their gigs and
performances? Why has he not done
any major tour? Why has he not
traveled with Olamide outside the
shores of the country? Why is he not
following the YBNL crew to their live
concert in UK this October while new
signees Adekunle Gold and Chinko
Ekun will be there?
* Since Viktoh was signed in March
2014, he has dropped 3 official
singles ‘Say dem say’, ‘All my ladies’
featuring Phyno and ‘Instagram
Police’ featuring Olamide and Small
Doctor, while Lil Kesh has dropped 7
songs and countless collaborations.
Like Skales, Viktoh is an equally
talented artiste. Apart from his
singing prowress, he also raps
fluently in ‘Ishan’ (Edo State)
language so he qualifies to be called
an ‘Indigenous rapper’. But he needs
to focus more on making the right
songs and more importantly
‘Promoting’ the songs well (Twitter
and Instgram hype isn’t enough).
