Career
Slimcase took up an interest in music during his senior year in high school, and he aspired to be a rapper. Starting out with rapping only in English, he began infusing his native dialect, Yoruba, into his songs.

Breaking into the industry wasn’t an easy task for Slimcase due to the thousands of talents in the country. Since he was yet to make any money from his music pursuit, he decided to work as a hypeman and make music on the side.

This was the start of great things for Slimcase because he moved from performing at a single job to doing gigs at multiple clubs within months of taking up the profession. It wasn’t long before he became one of the highest-paid hypemen in Lagos State, a nightlife entertainment hub.

Because Slimcase performed at some of the top clubs and lounges in Nigeria, he got the opportunity to meet with a lot of music stars who came to have a good time at those establishments. And he was able to build a relationship with these artists, which would prove helpful when he decided to launch his music career once again.

Slimcase got his chance when indigenous rapper, Idowest featured him on the popular single, Shepeteri. The song was a massive hit across the country and was voted one of the top-charting Street-Pop songs of 2017 and 2018. The song also helped promote the street dance, Shaku Shaku, which became the preferred dance move of many Nigerians.

Riding on the wave of Shepeteri‘s success, Slimcase released his own hit songs, Oshozondi and Otunba Lamba. The songs were quite popular among Street-Pop music lovers, which brought many collaboration opportunities to Slimcase.

Within two years, Slimcase had worked with some of the country’s biggest artists such as Tiwa Savage, DJ Neptune, Mr Real, D’banj, DJ Enimoney, Olamide, Zlatan Ibile, 2Baba, Larry Gaaga, Mz Kiss, Wizkid, Yemi Alade, Mr Eazi, CDQ and Peruzzi.

In his bid to help upcoming artists achieve success in the industry, Slimcase organizes and hosts a weekly IG Live session for rappers. Every week, he invites an underground rapper to the show to display their talent. The goal is to help these music acts build their fanbase.
