Keep hustling... God is involve.
It's obvious that there is no Nigerian artist that hasn't suffered before. Most of their songs emphasize on the "thing their eyes have seen" before they came into limelight. It's music I want to listen to but no, Rema and Lil-kesh won't want you to listen to good music without reminding you that nobody knew them when they were hustling in the streets.
I appreciate Nigerian artists and their works a lot more than foreign artist. If you know me personally, you'll know that I don't have time for foreign music. Even Davido will soon remind us of his own hustling too. At Ojuelegba, they know Wizkid's story. Buju just told us that it's so "Cold outside". Lil-kesh "came from the ghetto yunno" and I think he has been called back to the ghetto. Almost every Nigerian artist want us to know how much they labored. Even Bella Shmurda went to "Alaba go buy Lapi. He hustled for six month and he didn't have anything but shout-out to his niggas wey dey always sub for am"...
It's a good thing actually. For most of us that think life is a bed of roses and wishes were horses, they are trying to tell us how hard work, positivity, creativity, and consistency made them what they are today. There is no easy route to success. It always takes a price, a very huge amount of time to become what we want to be.
It might take time, it might seem impossible, you'll surely get frustrated but the end is what you should always see from the beginning. We all have our visions, let's try to picture our vision in everything we do. It helps you to stay determined and focused. God help everyone of us.
