In many quarters, it is believed that the emergence of hip hop in Nigeria in 2009 is only a sign of what is to come in 2010. All the heavy rappers in the industry have earmarked 2010 as an album-releasing year, and the relatively newer ultra-talented cats have also decided to drop their own bombs (no terrorism affiliation, pls) this year.
Vector is one of the newer hip hop dragons hoping to offset the established order with a debut album rightly titled “State of Surprise.”
On the track “Kilode,” Vector goes in at full throttle on his detractors who constantly downplay his relevance based on the fact that he sounds like “a certain multi-platinum selling US rapper.” He goes on to ask us why we would readily accept other folks aping other artistes, and boldly calls out names of those doing it.
Some may consider this a bold move (calling out names), some may call it a diss. Let me know what you think…
*O.O*
You ain’t got a problem with Pype and Sean Paul | M.I, Kanye and Weazy, not at all | You ain’t got a problem with D’Banj and Durella | But when it comes to Vector the Viper and Roc-A-Fella… you fellas go crazy on me.

notjustOk hype will feature (or may be not) the future heavy hitters
in naija music. Any material featured in this category will be from
unsigned or up and coming Nigerian/African, artists/rappers/producer/record label that
contain nothing but promising content. There will only be a post a
month in this category.
If you have or know of anyone’s music that you feel is a hit or any good, please send an email to notjustokmusic with a link to their page or where I can download the song. ***If you can email me the song, please be sure to zip it first before sending it as an attachment***
J’Bryte, real name Sodiq Derek Ajibola, is originally from Ogun State but he was raised in Lagos. He’s currently signed to Smasher’s Records, and he’s set to release an album.
If you still don’t know Vector at this point, you’re on an extremely lengthy thing! In a year, the rest of Nigeria, home and abroad would be singing his name as the new messiah! I’m already sold on him. Enjoy!
This would prolly go down as the “dirtiest” Naija song in recent memory (correct me if I’m wrong). Vector isn’t playing at all. The boy is going all out with the lyrics. This is still unmastered. Please, share your thoughts…
The King of UNILAG rap battles has finally come out gunz blazing! This dude has been widely celebrated as one of the best underground battle rappers from Yaba all the way to the Island… now he's set his mind on going nationwide. I gotta say I'm already a huge fan. Sooner or later, the whole nation would be on his palms. What do you think?
Note: This is still unmastered!
*O.O*
Even tho I sound like who I sound like, I'm still Nigerian
