It was a dream come true, for Kelechi Ohia, Clarence Peters and Osagie Osarenkhoe when rapper Kel’s debut album eventually dropped on Monday. The team at me.t.al and CAPital Hill have been working on the album for years, putting all they have into the project they call ‘the investment’.
And although they failed to meet up with an earlier advertise release date, the rapper and her backers remained undaunted, determined to deliver ‘the investment’ this year by all means possible.
They did on Monday August 17, riding on the machinery of Happy Boys entertainment for distribution and marketing.
It’s the first rap album from a lady this year, and while we continue to wait for fresh materials from Weird MC, Sasha, Blaise and Kemistry, it comforting to finally have Miss Kel’s CD – a 17-tracked hip hop album that’s far beyond anything cynics would have expected from the 23 year-old debutant.
With production help from labelmate Tha Suspect, Chocolate city’s Jesse Jags, and Tee-Y Mix, and interesting experiments with Wizkid (turn by turn), Durella (omo yapayaski), Skin (waa wa alright), IllBliss and Tha Suspect (dem don dey move), Aique (beautiful life), Alaye and MayD (too fine) and SLK (boy meets girl), the young rapper delivers an album reminiscent of good ol’ hip hop while also hijacking today’s sound and dragging it into tomorrow…
