4 Reasons Why Lil Kesh Should HaveRemained With YBNL

Posted by Seyifunmi

There has been so much hullabaloo on
Lil Kesh leaving YBNL by the end of May.
Some news site used the word dump
others used even more appalling
adjectives for this not so big of an issue.
Then he dropped the bomb, he is
indeed leaving.
First, lets understand what a record
contract is. This is a legally binding
contract between an artiste and the
label where the said artistes makes
records for the label to promote and
sell. Now this contract has both
exclusivity and territorial clauses in
many, that is to say, such artiste can
only record songs for the said label and
if need be that another label needs the
services of their artistes, this can only
happen with the permission of the
label.

Having said that, here are four reasons
why I feel Lil Kesh should not have
left YBNL .
1. Loyalty : Like I said earlier,
friendship between label and
their artistes is a very delicate
one and with this first point,
one would easily think this
loyalty deals more with Lil Kesh
but instead its more on
Olamide’s part. We all can
remember the embarrassing
issue which happened at this
year’s Headies awards, when
Lil Kesh, who many believed
should have won the next rated
award was snubbed. The young
man, in a very professional
way congratulated the winner
and sat down without much
visible fuss until his boss took
the stage and made the world
know just how much he’s got
his boy’s back. Can anyone
really forget the in less than
minutes trending words
Olamide used on the stage? I
doubt it. Olamide , a young man
himself, not caring whose ox is
gored made his disappointment
known, resulting in the most
talked about social media war
of the year 2016. I mean who
dares fight with Don Baba J, if
not Baddo himself. Yes, his
loyalty for his boy was beyond
comforting and I must say, I
doubt there is any other label
who would manifest such
legendary and epic loyalty to
Lil Kesh.
2. Belief: In his new album, Lil
Kesh said it himself, only
Olamide believed in his music
from the start. Olamide, saw the
potential in him and took him
up. He made is first single a
Hit and did not stop there.
Olamide made sure for every
single dropped, It was a hit
back to back. How many labels
can dare say there artiste had
hits back to back? Except of
cos for one (Story for another
day). It is one thing to be
signed unto a label who sees
that a record or two can be
made from you, it is another to
have a label who believes in
your passion, craft and person
in general, and we all know
what it means for a dad to
believe and even tell his son
that he has so much faith and
believe in him. Olamide , is the
one boss I know will push Lil
Kesh to the limit to ensure
massive success.
3. Fountain of creativity: Even as
writers we get writers block, so
does artistes. Him being among
artistes who sing his type of
music is an extra point not to
leave the label. Creativity
being staunched will never
happen for this young man
should he stick with the right
click which is the YBNL group.
The influence of Olamide rubs
off well on Lil Kesh and with
the kind of music they both do,
the sky is just the starting
point for Mrmeyagi, should he
remain with Olamide Baddo.
4. Consistency : Only Olamide will
and can push Lil Kesh to drop
songs consistently, so why not
remain with the man who
knows and understands the
trade perfectly well.
Consistency is the major key to
having a wonderful music
career and he is sure to get it
with YBNL.
These are just my thoughts though, am
certain both parties thought things
through and came to their final
decision.
Agree and have more reasons why Lil
kesh should have remained with YBNL,
