Rising Rapper and songwriter, Olanrewaju Olamilekan Samuel, well known with the stage name ‘Integral Money’ has revealed his plans to work with some A-list artistes in Nigeria, as he believes the Nigerian music industry is by far the biggest in the continent.
The rapper, who grew up in the city of Ilorin, in a chat with Tribune Online explained how he was very much exposed to rap music at a very young age and how the YBNL Boss, Olamide, has been a very big influence on his music career.
Integral Money is one of the new voices that are drawing attention with their unique delivery and could be the next big thing in the Nigerian music industry as he is fast catching attention with his singles enjoying massive airplay across the country.
He has so far released some hit singles like ‘Ememu (Holy Water),’ ‘Ori mi,’ ‘Shilekun Ayo,’ ‘Around the world,’ ‘Japa bai,’ among others.
The 27-year-old Kwara State-born artist said: “I was born into a typical average Nigerian home, the third and the last child. I started recording after my graduation from secondary school.
“Things didn’t flow well as I was more focused on getting my first degree (B. Eng) from the University of Ilorin, (UNILORIN). I started recording fully when I got to Lagos.”
On his current projects and how he sees the entertainment industry, he said: “I have few songs I will be dropping this year. Nigerian music industry is by far the biggest in Africa, as a young artist you must always spread your net. So, currently, I’m looking at doing few collabos with some A-list artists in Nigeria. I believe it will be a hit.”
