Up your game a notch to another level
Eight
Add your mother tongue to represent
Where you are from
Nine
Let them know that they cants stop your shinе
Ten
No need for me to start all over again
Im tеaching of experience
You know what im saying
Its how its worked for me though
Like this
Take out two songs
So radio has your first singles
For naija a dance track
And a slow one for the mingle
Cut like two to three hundred copies
If you can design a slip for it
So it won't look sloopy
Drop at least eight copies
At each radio station
Not just in your city
If you can around the nation
Follow up with sms and occasional phone call
Of course you go still meet presenters
Wey go try to play God
Bone them and give only to those
Wey feel your music
Cus when you blow up
They would turn around and use it
Do a lot of interviews
Don’t let pride get into you
Cus it goes before every fall
Your enemies will have a ball
Grease the right palms of you can
And if you have to
Im being realistic cus money plays a part too
See ehn check this connection right
Im talking about dance facts and people alike
It dosent make you any less of an artist
You know
Because look
Dance tracks they rock radios
They rock parties and clubs
You know what im saying
You get a crowd with a slamming dance track
Look check it
Corporate bodies that pay the big bucks
They want an artist that can pull a crowd
You know
So they can sell their products
You do that faster with a dance track
You know what im saying
Do your dance track first you know
Let the people feel the music
Feel the groove
And then when they buy your album
Dey go feel your other tracks
You know what im saying
Thats just how it goes
This na naija men
No be yanki, the mentality different
