6. VECTOR
   The Ogun State born Olanrewaju Ogunmefun is
   one of Nigeria’s hottest rappers at the moment
   having dropped two albums and two mixtapes
   ever since his rise to stardom in 2010. V.E.C like
   he fondly calls himself has a unique rap style
   which fans have compared to that of American
   rapper Jay-z and he is also known for his
   versatility.

   Vector is regarded as the current king of punch
   lines and wordplays which can be said to be his
   trade mark and what makes him stand out
   among other rappers and here are some of
   those punch lines and wordplay that leaves his
   fans and many others thinking where's that guy
   got his brain from #check “if I dey piss you off,
   go weewee” “I am too hot, I can give the sun a
   tent” “emi wa scapegoat but mi o fe eran iya
   osogbo” “flows so hard my fans are floodvictim”
   “because this p*y nigga’s no mind fk you
   my paddy” and many more. Vector has got it for
   sure and for us absolutely and whole heartedly.
   He deserves more accolades than what he's
   getting. Pulling through a bad weekend of a
   record label deal and still pulled through.
   Damn!!! Vector is the definition of "Naija got
   talent"
