Artistry
The versatility and musical style of Lil Kesh is similar to that of Olamide, who raps and sings in his local dialect. However, he was criticized for using too much profanity and for failing to find the right balance in his songs' lyrics. In an interview with Naij , he said, "they are singles not an album, I know the kind of market am directing my songs to, am from the streets, I know what the people from the street want to listen to...they should wait for my album that is expected to drop towards the end of the year. I have very positive songs".
Personal life
Lil Kesh is now based in the city of
Lekki. He was a linguistic student at the University of Lagos before leaving school to concentrate on music.
