Nigerian singer and rapper, Vector Tha Viper, has revealed that music should be beyond charts, and focus on impact.

The rapper, while speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, shared how his hit song with Goodgirl LA, ‘Early Momo,’ helped someone in a psychiatric home out of depression.

He stressed that music should be a conscious act, as it helps many people cope with issues or problems.

He added that many people use the musical charts to rate the success of a song, emphasizing that success has different definitions.

He said:
“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."
