Nigeria: CAPital Hill Music Debuts KEL’s THE INVESTMENT
August 20, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi
CAPital Hill Music debuts KEL’s THE INVESTMENT, which marks the first album for both the label and the artiste. The 19-tracker hits the stores on Monday, August 17, 2009; it features songs like ‘Turn by Turn’, ‘Love’, ‘Jeun Soke’, ‘Boy meets girl’, Omo Yapayaski’, ‘Nobody Else’ to mention a few.
According to Clarence A. Peters, CAPital Hill Music CEO, “Kel’s The Investment, unlike what many people might expect is a lot more mature; it is one that you need to listen to, to enjoy as there was just a much attention on the lyrical content as there was on the beats. The album takes you through a path, from the urban sounds, to stories about love, and to commercial sounds.”
In making this album, the recently crowned ‘Discovery of the Year’ at the Soundcity Music Video Awards, KEL worked with producers like Jesse Jagz, J. Martins, Dokta Frabz, Micworx, Tee-y Mix and Tha Suspect, the CAPital Hill Music in-house producer, who particularly worked closely with KEL in making sure all songs on THE INVESTMENT were excellent.
The 23 year old ‘Waa Wa Alright’ crooner, first hit our airwaves with her verse on IllBliss’ ‘You go wound’ remix; since then KEL, strongly supported by her record label, CAPital Hill Music, has gone on to show that she is indeed not a flash in the pan but here to make good music for a very long time. According M.I, who features the album, “what are the undisputable facts; Kel changed the game when she arrived, gave new fire to the female MC argument and challenged for best female rapper off of ONE single! From charisma, to her swag, to her voice and her smile, I would argue that we are about to witness greatness!…”
The album, which was earlier anticipated to drop earlier this year, has surprise features by Tosyn Bucknor, Shola Thompson and OC Ukeje; and collaborations with artistes like Shank, Wizkid, IllBliss, , Durella, YQ, Iceprince, SLK et cetera.
Following the release of her debut album, Kel will set new standards for female artists in Africa. KEL represents the average girl, who grew up in a regular environment, discovered a knack and gift for rap and then committed herself to making the best of it. Looking for a good hip hop deal…invest in THE INVESTMENT!
