JAYCII, one of the artistes on Black Water Records has officially dropped his single, Badman.

JAYCII has won seven consecutive rap battles and has been dubbed the ‘rap king’ in FESTAC Town, Lagos.

His music career began at age 13 and was mainly inspired by the works of late rapper, Christopher Wallace better known as Notorious B.I.G as well as that of Canibus, Jay-Z, Nas, and Eminem.

“I developed a love for telling stories in lyrics and at age 15, I had notebooks filled with rhymes but no beats of my own to record them on, so I began a rap group, Da Fugitivez with some friends.

Akinwale Afolabi a.k.a. Wale Wayles was also unveiled by Black Water records and he officially released a single, Hustle Hard, featuring Vector and JAYCII. The cut was produced by Dr. Smith.

Wayles is optimistic that he can find his place in the music industry despite the increasing number of talents. “I know that I can carve a niche for myself in this industry because I have the talent to succeed, the work ethic and the most competent record label.”

He believes that his understanding of music has changed since he signed for Black Water records. “They have helped me to settle in very well, opening my eyes to many things. I understand music production better and have access to modern equipment.

He has stepped down his academic career at the University of Lagos, to pursue his musical career and he hopes he can influence young people all across the world. “Music is my life and I want to use it to reach out to many people all across the world. Hopefully it will make me popular and bring me money.”
