Their success story will NEVER be complete without the influence and imput of the 'BaddestGuy Ever Liveth', Olamide!
Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold
If there’s an award for the TRUE KING-Maker in the Nigerian music industry, the battle will be between Olamide and Don Jazzy. Suffice to say they began the year on the battleground with the rumpus they caused at the last Headies.
A few months was all it took for Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold to become bonafide stars courtesy of Olamide and his YBNL movement.
On April 22, 2014 just a few days after Olamide announced the signing of Lil Kesh andViktoh, his song ‘Shoki’ was released and it became an instant hit!
Before crossing paths with Olamide, Lil Kesh was a struggling rapper on the streets of Bariga with talent, ambition, hope and nothing more. Fast forward to November of the same year, he was sharing the stage with Olamide and Davido performing at the Channel O Music Video awards in South Africa.

By 2016, Lil Kesh had dropped an album and he’s now a boss on his own as he started his own record label or rather movement called Y.A.G.I Records (guess he’s not so ‘Lil’ anymore).
In the case of Adekunle Gold, before he was unveiled among YBNL 2.0 acts alongsideChinko Ekun and Xino in 2015, he was a popular graphic artist fondly called ‘King of Photoshop’.

It didn’t however take long for his unique style of music to win hearts in the industry and his fans welcomed him like a long lost son.
Now lets imagine a different scenario!
Will Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold have made this same kind of impact had their paths not crossed with Olamide?
Remember Adekunle Gold wasn’t just a graphic designer before his YBNL days, he was in a music group called The Bridge with his best friend, Seyikeyz but they didn’t ‘BLOW’. While Lil Kesh had been a struggling rapper on the streets of Bariga almost all his life.
