When listing top creative filmmakers and visual content creators in the Nigerian music space, Slevin’s name would come tops. He has a reputation for cooking up some of the strongest viral videos out of the scene, with names like CKay, Blaqbonez, Young Jonn and many others. Here are his top 5 videos to have shot:
1. Choc City’s Cypher
HipHop just turned 50 and it was such an experience landmarking the culture with a cypher from Chocolate City’s rap-heads. I don’t think any other sect would better represent the hiphop culture in Naij better than the icons at CC.
2. Love Nwantiti Acoustic
This song literally held down the scene during COVID and went ahead to break countless records. And this our acoustic video did massive numbers. It always feels good to see projects my team and I work on go on to leave a mark on the afrobeats scene and internationally.
3. CKay’s Jimmy Fallon Performance
That man is like a legend; Jimmy, I mean. Having to create that masterpiece for his show was everything.
4. Breaking the Yoke of Love
We made that video and it broke the internet the minute it was released. Till today, people still talk about how it was so in sync with the story of the music and it makes me feel good.
5. Instagram x CKay
Instagram wanted to start making collaboration videos with celebrities across the world. And they decided to make CKay the first (pun intended, hehehe). Was such an honour to have brought it to life. It has a special place in my catalogue till date.

Itty can be caught studying African pop culture, writing about it or hosting a relationship podcast. When he's not doing any of these, then he's definitely at a bar, getting mocktail.
