Thanks man i'ma tell him !

Yes! i'm happy to know that my boy Vector is doing well. Judging from where he started and where he is today. Vector have battled and kept it real despite critics stoning him almost to death with harsh words and comments on blogs. I'm inspired by the way he has kept it real staying true to what he believes in and just doing him. Vector now is a household name. Sometimes i'd be in the midst of folks and they'll be talking about my homeboy Vector and I just listen like I don't know him. Infact that's what inspired me to bring this here. Vector is just too good for this new generation of naija hip-hop. Vector is very gifted. He pulls words out of the air like bluetooth! no be mouth! omo I don dey inside room where one guy enter say oya Vector begin rap with everything inside this room right now starting from this pen when I want give u so and Vector just made us give him a standing Ovation! Sometimes I just look at him and see pure talent menh Raw! Now VEC is preparing to drop his debut album trust me ya'll ain't gon be dissappointed. Also the "Kilode" video is in the works. Vector proves himself once again on the Champion rmx his swag, his flow is unique. Like he said "i'm raised in the battle" that's true! from freestyle battles Vector was crowned king of the streets starting from Unilag. He is feared and respected by Mcs and wanna be MCs. V-E-C for Life!

I'm re-introducing 'em but this time around with a tribute song they did for Grin baba! Yeah it's O-B-A-D-I-C-E and S-H-E-L-L-I-R-O-Y! They're both very talented and raw and uncut artiste all the way from the sub-urbs called Obalende! The title of this track is "Iku Da Ro" (do me a favor and be strong when u hear this song, don't cry o!). By the way I'm 95% sure Starville is looking to sign 'em dudes!

@ Elrazur: In a market where it is hard to break out, you need to have your signature. Just like producers like Dre, Timba et al all have individual signature on their beat, as an artist you need to find yours. Michael Jackson had the "Heeeeeeee Heeeeeee", "chaaaamone", James Brown have the crazy shouts etc. You may need to find something similar or what makes you different from another naija artist. To find that, I think in my opinion you need to stay away from the Gimmicks of this cancer called auto-tune.

Try recording your vocals without no backing tracks, add a bit of Reverb on it and see if there is anything you like about it. Go further and do a ballad - i.e sing a nice slow song - without any backing tracks and try to work on where you feel are lacking. Then go ahead and do a short song, give it out and hear what people say. Depending on your voice type, you may ask your sound engineer or producer to enhance is a little bit. Do not add anything dramatic to it . If you do, it will make such song singing it live at a show very difficult.

To do all of the above, you need to be able to sing in the first place. If you can't sing, then I suppose you can hide behind an auto tune.

Also when singing, you may try and improve your range - i.e use different tones and "transpose" or simply put, in different keys. This is very lacking in most naija tracks, perhaps you can pull it off?

I don't know who you sound like when you are singing. It may be advisable to pick up Usher's first album and then compare it to the one he released later. You can learn a thing or two about voice range from that. [His first album did not contain much range, but he experimented with good vocal ranges in the subsequent albums and it worked for him]

Also study the work of MJ. MJ may be a tricky one though as you need to have that natural singing talent and superb vocal range he's got. lol.

PS
I am not an authority in anyway, I am just passionate and enjoy making music as a hobby, been doing so for years now.

Goodluck.

Thanks a bunch dude!

i'm hoping it's true too
