For ten years I earned N15,000 per month but I now charge 1m per show - SLIMCASE

Slimcase is the new voice of the street but before he found his way to the limelight, he had had it rough. In an exclusive chat with Saturday beats, the Oshozondi singer said that he once worked as a factory worker for about ten years where he earned about N15,000 per month.

"Before fame found me, I worked with Dangote and a lot of companies that produce dry gin. I earned about N15,000 per month but now, I am one of the most sought-after artistes and I charge about N1m per show", he said.

 Three years after he began working as a factory worker, he decided to give music a shot but chose the rap genre, a move that did not pay him at all. After embracing ghetto sound, he decided to switch genre; a decision which has turned him to one of the rave-of the-moment artistes.

"I never believed I would be this big within a short period of time. I have been in the industry for about seven years but when I started I was a rap artiste, I did radio-friendly songs but my life and music changed when the Shaku Shaku trend came on board.

Before I released my hit song, 'Oshozondi; the guys on the streets of Mushin and Agege area had been dancing the Shaku Shaku dance but there was no beat that blended with  their songs.
