| L-R: Zen, Rule Kings & Izzy Millie - LEKKIHOOD's FINEST |
Lekkihood Finest is a Hip-hop Rap group with a versatile mind
towards different genres in the music industry. The name arose from the
lifestyle in Lekki "Lekkihood" because we always try to be consistent
with the way we dress, the way we speak & the natural way we live our
lives. Lekkihood stands for what we believe we’ll achieve…to show that there
are also talented people in Lekki and the Lekki lifestyle. We want to show that
we can do something different from what others are doing.
Lekkihood Finest came to be in 2010; the group consists of Zen
– Lo, I–Millie and Rule Kings. “Like every other music group, we have
experienced our tough times and hard decisions but we are thankful to be able
to deliver our fans great music with every track they hear. We’ve got so much
to say, no time to play, back to the studio doing what we do best. Music is
what makes us happy so we do our best trying to do good music, often even get criticized
for our music on twitter and facebook, but the plain truth is if you are not
someone no one would talk about you. So that motivates us to do more and give
our all to whatever we do.”
Every artist must have an inspiration and LHF is not left
out as they pronounce that theirs are Eminem, Royce Da 5’9’ and Tupac Shakur.
If it's Hip-Hop,
Rap, Party or just your normal African beat, Lekkihood Finest has major styles for all genres of music. This Lagos based group released their debut single
"We Breaking Out" which featured 2010 Channel O Dancehall Winner ‘General
Pype’ & The Headies nominated legendary Rap lyricist ‘Vector’. This track
has been giving thumbs up by DJ's across Lagos. “Everyone is searching for a
breakthrough, that’s was the concept of the song.” Their second official single
is titled “Check one 2” which featured Ade Piper, a very talented and fast
rising artist.
Everyone has a celeb crush and these three guys are not left
out. When asked about who they had a crush on, Zen picked Waje, I-Millie went
for Rihanna and Rule Kings chose Muna.
Speaking on the Nigerian music industry… “We have got a lot
of fake artists in this industry, which ain't good at all. We won’t mention
names but they don’t give upcoming artists their due respect in fact they
shatter some dreams, which is not fair enough”.
Furthermore, they explained that it hasn’t been easy for
them. “We are three rappers in a group which is rare, you only see a rapper or
two and singers but we are unique. And I bet you this is a legacy we would leave
in this industry.”
We are currently working on dropping another single, a
techno kind-of song. And our album isn’t going to be released anytime soon
because we still have to do a lot of promotion for our singles. We are going to do a lot of collaborations with both
upcoming artistes and made ones. We’ve done collaboration already with Vector
and General Pype on the track ‘Breakthrough’ and Ade Piper on the track ‘Check
one 2’.
LHF gave a word of advice to both the fans and haters.
“Follow your dreams. Don’t let anyone bring you down. And to the haters; keep
hating because we don’t care about what you guys tweet about us.”
