*Nigeria Music in-DUSTRY*


Rounding up my degree program and planning for life after school,so as upcoming artiste,I choose to further my music career,I went to one of the biggest radio station in Lagos state with two of my songs to get them on air for good music lovers to hear that new boy called captain
Herlay. After negotiating and we're able to reach conclusion,I'm to pay 80k for a month. As a street hustler,it had to go back on the street and hustle the money not that I've got it saved in the bank already. I get back to the radio station after a week with 65k hoping to pay the balance ASAP,on getting there I was told they can't play my songs on their radio station that I can take it to some other radio stations,I was confused,the songs don't contain explicit contents,its of good quality,WTF is going on here,my legs were Stiff,but I drag myself out,one of the radio officials called me and he was like "my guy I dey sorry to tell u dis,but no radio go play your song,some of dis big artiste wey you see no want new artiste to blow,dey no want competition,as you come submit your song last week wey we hear am finish,everybody like am but as the news reach them for out there say one New guy is around the corner,naso den pay d radio station not to play your songs,if you go another station na same thing fit happen,so no disturb yourself again,go do alaba promo be my advice"as the guy dey go tears fell for my eyes,can't really say why I dey cry,is it the stress I go through?staving myself to record with a standard producer to get quality production,leaving my comfort zone to go sleep for studio to do night session .As a man I just lock up n move "life goes on" I said to myself.

The next morning I go straight to Alaba int market to make inquires about there promo,I met a marketer at Abuja plaza,he listened to the songs and he love them he tell say I come at the right time that december is near,season to discover new act. He asked me to pay 100k and he'll do a massive promo for me,he carry me go photo studio to snap some promo photo,he'll do few banners for me and my songs will be on every mixtapes coming out of alaba from now till december(october-dece mber).I left alaba with the mindset of getting back on the street to hustle trying to make the 65k with me 100k.3days later the marketer called me that he'll like to buy the songs from me,he asked me to go get a lawyer that he'll be paying 1.5million naira for all the songs. I was happy at 1st,all hustle is all about the money but as a Street boy I won't just jump into any offer like that. I take my time to ruminate on the whole shit happening,radio station sent me out that they can't play my song,now alaba marketer will prefer to pay me and get the song rather than him collecting Money from me and promote my songs. The 1st question that comes my mind was "if he pay me that money,how's he go to make his own money back"? This marketers are strictly business men,they won't do what won't favor them. I was in deep thought trying to relate the whole things together,then I reason say maybe he's trying to buy my songs for an established artist,thinking about this alone,I picked up my phone,called the marketer and tell am say I no sell my songs I wan promo am ni and he was like I'm sorry then,I can't promo you.

After stopping radio stations from playing my songs,another still wanna buy me off or maybe same person self,who knows,una try o,but its well no shaking,I know you've got the power,the connections and the money to tryna build a gate in front of the entrance,but I've got God and he's the most supreme...I'd like to take this time out to openly beg everyone who's trying to stop another nigga ,please let that nigga breathe.....I know I'm not the first upcoming nor the only person that's experiencing this sh*t,if you fall in same category with me,abeg join me fight this shit ,its killing me,please let me just do my thing,I'm not here to compete with anyone,I don't use the s
