Speaking in an interview on Jbrandy Entertainment, the ‘Nowo E Soke’ singer said independent artistes without such affiliations usually struggle to get returns on their investments.
“The hardest truth about the music industry is that it has turned into a place where you have to belong to a particular caucus, gang, or cult before anyone can help you,” the rapper said.
“If you are able to succeed as an independent artist without any of that, then you should thank God for it. If you don’t belong to any group or gang, you might end up spending a lot without seeing any return.”
CDQ gained widespread attention with the release of ‘Indomie’ featuring Masterkraft and Olamide before achieving greater success with ‘Nowo E Soke’ featuring Wizkid in 2015.
Known for rapping largely in Yoruba, he became popular for his signature ad lib “Woss Wobi” and went on to establish himself as one of Nigeria’s notable indigenous rappers.
In November 2016, CDQ launched his own record label, N.S.N.S (No Struggle No Success Entertainment), after leaving General Records.
The rapper released his debut album Quality in 2016 and has since followed it with projects including Ibile Mugabe, Vibes and Lifestyle and Mood & Ecstasy, maintaining a career as an independent artiste and label owner.
