Nigerian singer and rapper, Vector Tha Viper, has asserted that his popular track with Goodgirl LA, titled ‘Early Momo,’ provided assistance to an individual residing in a psychiatric facility, aiding them in overcoming depression.
The vocalist, famed for his hit 'King Kong', put forward this assertion during a recent discussion on the influence of conscious music on The Honest Bunch podcast.
He elaborated that true musical achievement ought to transcend mere chart positions, and instead, should be measured by the genuine impact it has on the lives of those who listen.
“I can tell when people are going through a tough time because certain records come up on streams. Like the record with Seyi Vibez, ‘Mercy.’ When it pops up, you will know that people have started overthinking. And that is what music should really be. It should be spread across in such a way that whatever people are going through, they find the music to fit that purpose.
“Now, how do you say that is not successful because that’s not the chart? I released Early Momo and I got a message from a psychiatric home that said it helped somebody that was depressed… That’s a successful moment in somebody else’s life that I didn’t even intend to. So, success has different definitions,” Vector explained.
