‘After all the fear that enveloped the Nigerian music industry years ago due to the exit of
foreign record companies such as CBS/SONY Music and EMI, despite the boom in
revenue for artistes today in an industry surviving on a dilapidated structure, one major
lesson for me is this; hard work does not kill, ignorance does. Majority of the artistes
successful today has justified the reason why focus, persistence, carving a niche and
being business minded are all the vital ingredients for longevity in the Nigerian music
industry.
Like they say; it’s all about time and season for every artiste but
a handful of artistes
have defied the odds to remain rooted in this industry and Kcee is one of them. He has
been in the mix of things for over a decade churning out one significant hit after another
and up on till this moment, he remains one of the most relevant artistes in the year 2013
with his hit song Limpopo gathering more fan base across borders, age groups and
gender. With all the endorsements and a filled up performance calendar, it’s high time we
all agreed that it’s Kcee’s time. Considering all the negative press and fans fearing that
he wouldn’t stand alone after the break up from the two man group, KC Presh; Kcee has
somehow broken off that “group break-up jinx” by releasing eight tracks culminating into
mega hits, through this, it is obvious that hard work does not kill. With focus and
persistence, the time will come when the world will celebrate you. It’s Kcee’s Time and
there’s no doubt about it’.
