Money now produces hit songs not good music – Reminisce

Nigerian rapper Reminisce has expressed that financial backing has overshadowed the essence of good music in defining a hit song.

During his appearance on the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast, he pointed out that contemporary hit songs often rely more on substantial budgets than on the actual quality of the music itself.

He remarked, “The industry has evolved into a new era, one where you need to invest money to achieve hit status.”

“Money now produces hits not music anymore. That’s the phase we are in now. Whatever song you see [popping], go ask what the marketing budget was. That’s what determines how big a song is. It’s no longer just music anymore.”
