Hello everyone, I greet you all fellow hivians in the house๐ฏ๐๐ hope you are enjoying your Sunday?๐
Regarding the topic which says ADULT LIFE, here I leave you some catchy and interesting experience๐
As a child I had so many good plans in mind growing up which I thought would be accomplished the way I planned them but not all was achieved but still I give thanks ๐ because it is important we give thanks no matter the situation. As a matter of fact I never wanted to become a lawyer or a doctor or a pilot just like every other kids have always said they want to be BUT what I did was sat down and think of what I know how to do and do it best. So one thing that I stick to was my Music carrier which I went very far in my writing and recording but unluckily there was no means of promoting my songs then not that there was really no means but financially I couldnโt do it not that I was not good enough I was just more than good as an Afro hip hop rapper and also a good song writer, I used to make some good money composing songs for other artist who canโt really compose their own songs so what I do, I write and sell and I also do some part of the voicing to enable the singer flow well in their stanza and so on.
THE UNFULFILLED BIG DREAM ๐ค
My plan then was to become one of the baddest Afrobeat rapper because I used to rap very well, if music was highness I would be on the street by now ๐ because I was an addict, I was even far better than some of the rappers I call my mentors people like Nigga Raw, Slow Dog ๐, Rugged Man, Mode 9, 2shot, Freestyle, Illryms, MI, I know some of us right here may not know some of these great Afro beat rappers that I mentioned above but they are all Nigerian artists. So many of them but i canโt remember all, what am trying to say is that I had a great plan of becoming a well known Nigerian music artist or music ๐ถ star ๐ but there was need for a shot man to hang his bag according to his height๐ฏ I tried all I could and the only means of promoting music and make it go viral then was TV and YouTube but then no much access to the internet and there was no phone ๐ฑso that even those in the rural areas would get to know about you even though they donโt know much about YouTube but TV ๐บ they do. I was not able to proceed when I started facing the reality of life๐ฌ
IF I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME๐ค
I wish I could turn back the hands of time but not anymore because Iโm no longer interested in it due to other engagements.๐ฉ and challenges on ground that doesnโt mean I do not like music anymore of course I do ๐ฏIf I have the chance of going back to my early plans one thing I would love to engage myself in is Music ๐ต I would go back and take my place in the Nigerian music industry and Africa as whole ๐ค๐ถ to me music is an enemy of depression, my music then goes with the reality of life I wasnโt just a common writers but a passionate one with a big difference๐ฏ So when I do music I feel relieved, depression gone that is one thing I love about music is a cure for depression yes๐
CHALLENGES IN MY EARLY PLANS FOR MY MUSIC CARRIER
- FINANCIAL CHALLENGE: Then I wasnโt working or earning money to support my music career and family does not really believe music stuff all they wanted for me was to go to school and read my brain ๐ง out๐ that was a good decision and plan too from my family but before you give someone something you need to ask the person do you want this? But in our early lives we never had the privilege to decide especially here in the BLACK NATION ๐ฉ
SO IF I HAVE THE CHANCE TO GO BACK AND CHANGE ONE THING THAT WOULD BE MY MUSIC CARRIER. I WOULD CHASE IT WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE PRESENTLY ๐ฏ๐๐
- NO MEANS OF PROMOTIONS: Then we only had access to YouTube but how many people know about YouTube and how many people uses YouTube? Now social media has helped a lot of upcoming musicians all around the globe ๐ it wasnโt like that then, technology is great ๐ even though the was TV ๐บ do you have the money to go pay to your preferred TV ๐บ Station to play your songs as part of the promotion. These are the challenges most of faced in our early life but today things are no longer the same a lot has changed. The name (Right Channell) was the only name i was known with as my stage name and till date my friends call me CHANNELL ๐ค
ONE THING I ENJOY NOW AS AN ADULT:
- FREEDOM; Right now nobody tells me what to do, I decide what I want to do right now and when to do it as long as i am the only one involved. When I was a kid I never made my own decisions they make decisions for me and all I do is follow it up as a smart kid that wants to make his family proud unless I donโt just want and that is the end.
I enjoy the fact that Iโm no longer a kid to wait anyone to decide for me so one thing Iโm enjoying now is my INDEPENDENT ๐ค๐ค One thing is for sure, we all going to have our freedom because it is necessary in everyoneโs life.

Wowww, this caught my attention! Well it's a good thing you were smart enough to handle the decision made for you as a kid but I think the best thing still remain to allow kids take some level of decision on their own while adult guides them.
Am happy for you for the great freedom you are swimming on now๐
Yeah freedom is life and Iโm enjoying it to the fullest ๐ฏ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ thanks for taking your time to read my post๐๐๐
Uwc๐
Freedom is one of the things you get as an adult.
Wow! I music rapper ๐ so nice, that means you will have to sing and rap for me whenever we see ๐
How I wish there was enough funds to start your music career and there was someone who could promote your music, you would have been on national tv now
Everything happens for a reason.
Yes of course freedom is good, though I wasn't completely caged because I lived with family so I get some little freedom in some aspects ๐คฉ๐คฉ donโt one day we will meet and I will rap for you ๐ค๐ต๐ถ thanks a lot for your time I appreciate ๐ฏ๐
Wow...
This is truly detailed.
But it is never too late to make it in music. And you have social media to thank for that. With Instagram and Tiktok, you can put out content and get an audience for your music.
After all that was how Rema was found and a list of other Nigerian artists. It is never too late until you decide it is.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I Really appreciate your advice my able mod for sure I'm considering going back to my music carrier with difference now that we have those platforms where we can run even free promo on our own๐๐๐ thanks a lot for time I appreciate ๐ฏ๐
With commitment you can still go back to your music career . noting is too late. Rolling dollar became rich at age 70 .no time is late
You are right๐ I'm beginning to reconsider it and hoping to fall back to it with full force and with difference๐ฏ Thanks a lot for your time ๐๐
