British Nigerian rapper, Joseph Junior Adenuga, professionally known as Skepta, has explained why he decided to work with street-hop singer, Portable.
He praised Portable for hustling to make music and promote it despite not having a partnership or distribution deal with any major record label.
Skepta commended the Zazuu star for launching his own record label (Zeh Nation), going ahead to sign some artistes and using his little resources to support them.
The Hip Hop star said Portable is the type of person he wants to help rather than the ones that flood his DM begging him to sign them.
He said; “Portable doesn’t have a distribution deal, he has no partnership with any major record label, he is just on his own and created his own label. As difficult as it is, he still signed other artistes and is still pushing them with the little he has.
“This is the kind of person I want to help because I will see results. Stop flooding people’s inbox with please sign me, go out there and start doing something the world gon see you.”
