The Blown Before
When you’re once blown but in few years, you’ve unblow. This is the situation for artistes in this category.

The Instagram Blown
These are artistes who don’t really do well with official single release but let them release a one minute freestyle on Instagram, it will spread like wildfire.
The set of artistes in this category only has massive followers, no fame, no money.
They have tied their growth in the music industry to the number of followers they have on Instagram.
Most upcoming artistes are in this category, one freestyle gets lots of comments and likes on their page but their songs hardly penetrate.
When these people drop songs, they only promote on Instagram and beg other celebrities to repost.
The Talented But Underrated
To succeed in the music industry requires that your talent is being recognized and appreciated by many.
Being underrated is when you’re not getting the accolades you deserve considering the quality of songs you drop.
Many artiste is in this category, they are so damn talented but no one is rating them on the same level as their songs.
The Mixtape Artistes
I don’t know if I am the only one that has noticed that there are some really underground street artiste who doesn’t have their song anywhere except in mixtapes.
DJ Chicken and some other street DJs have a huge playlist of songs from these kinds of artistes.
Anyways, they make mixtapes sweet with their fast tempo songs
The My Street/My School Blown
These artistes are very popular in their street or school as the case may be.
They headline shows in school or their street back-to-back, at some point they feel all blown and exhibiting pride to their friends.
If you’re blown in your school or street, it’s a signal that if you have a bigger platform to reach out to more people, you’d definitely grow bigger.
The Legends
They have scaled all hurdles and beaten every record in the music industry.
Due to their consistency with good music over the years, the entire music industry labels them as legends.
More importantly, these are artistes other music artistes pick as role models or mentors.
The Yahoo Artistes
These are artistes doing “Yahoo Yahoo” on the side.
Among these artistes, it is difficult to know which one is their main hustle or side hustle between “Yahoo Yahoo” or music.
If you’re an artiste and you’re doing ‘yahoo” or your record label is funding you with yahoo money, don’t stress yourself, you’re a yahoo-artiste.
The Copycats
The artistes in this category just want to copy what other artists are doing.
Because a particular artiste is making waves, they want to do a song that will make them sound like that artiste.
They also copy strategies, because Kizz Daniel did the challenge, they also want to do the challenge.
