The best rappers in Nigeria, 2016
1. Skales
This man is among the best rappers in Nigeria now. Though only 25 years old, this artist has already become well-loved by many.
He was born in Kaduna State. After high school, he entered Lead City University. Despite his amazing talent and desire to be famous for the music he creates, he decided to choose a different major.
probably for the sake of his management skills, he applied for a place at Office Management and Technology department, and was accepted. As the record shows, he took some breaks when working on his music, as his biggest passion and love in life never changed.
However, after some efforts and years of dedicated labor, he graduated and is now a specialist in the area.
His rapping career began seventeen years ago when he composed several of his first rap songs. Seven years later he moved to a different place aiming to be closer to the show business bohemia. He joined efforts with Jesse Jagz in creation of several tracks. Later after hard work and support by many of the music gurus, he got the first prize at the North Central Region.
Thanks to such a remarkable victory, he was offered a contract with Empire Mates Entertainment which altered his whole career and opened more doors before a young talent.

Besides, he has also started his own OHK Music Establishment. This proves that he is not merely a good artist but also a gifted manager.
2. Lil Kesh
The real name of this artist is Keshinro Ololade. Some of your who are familiar with his works might disagree with our opinion on him being thebest artist. However, after analyzing his achievements and results within the last year or two, we could not but admit that this young man has a lot of potential. So, we could not but call him an aspiring artist of the year along with other best rappers in Nigeria, 2016.
Born in Lagos state, this young man is only twenty years old. Nevertheless, despite his young age, he is a true asset. From the very early years of his life, he was interested in art. First he showed interest in dances. Later, after encountering some talented peers, he shifted to singing instead.
His career as we know it today started in 2012 when he was only seventeen years old. He started working seriously on his skills both as a songwriter and a rapper. However, he only got on stage and became known among a broader audience after his first single came out.
Its name was “Lyrically,” and it was loved especially among his peers. Later thanks to his next track known as “Shoki” he received a nomination for the Best Street-Hop Artiste. Later he also got several other big awards which gave him a chance to collaborate with the leaders of the industry who achieved more than him and could mentor him on his way to fame.
So far, he has released at least nine singles including “Is It Because I Love You?” and “Gbese” as well as a whole album with a title “Y.A.G.I.”
