It is very easy to spot artistes from the stable of Olamide’s YBNL, but Adekunle Gold has set himself apart with his rhythm and lyrics.
His two singles, ‘Orente’ and ‘Sade’, have been heavy on storytelling; a tale of romance which has been instrumental in the success of both singles.
After beating his boss and other music acts to win the Beat of Lagos 2015 award, Gold explained the real story behind one of the singles, ‘Sade’.
“The heartbreak I suffered from a girl I was deeply in love with was the defining moment in my musical career. I was really in love with this particular girl before she decided to break my heart.
That was what inspired the song ‘Sade’ which everyone celebrates today,” he said.
The heartbreak-inspired single has now earned him a plot of land in Lekki.
