Vector Tha Viper, a Nigerian rapper and musician, has stated that his hit song “Early Momo,” which he co-wrote with Goodgirl LA, helped lift a patient from depression in a mental health facility.
In a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the “King Kong” crooner made the assertion while discussing the influence of conscious music.
He clarified that success in music should go beyond the numbers and be centered on how it affects listeners’ lives.
“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
