Going viral as an artist always comes with its own pressure and we have seen so many cases of creatives folding after the 15 seconds of fame. There are numerous examples in this case but Dyana Cods seems to have figured out how to make it out alive.
The rapper originally from Rong Rende has caught the attention of many and disappointed a lot of Hip Hop heads in the last two weeks. However, this has only added to the advantage she now has over other artists. People are talking about her. Opportunities are following her.

Dyana Cods has continued to shine ever since she went viral with Set It last year. The song that featured Ajay of Buruklyn Boyz changed her life for the better. No one in their wildest dreams thought that the rapper would ever appear in one of the biggest Hip Hop cyphers on the continent. Her feature on Khali Cartel 5 was impressive depending on how you saw it.
The rapper figured out one thing that has worked against creatives who go viral. CONSISTENCY. Immediately after the cypher dropped, she did not hesitate. She went on to announce that she already had work with another viral artist, Toxic Lyrikali. Consistency.

At the moment, the rapper is everywhere. She is part of the Motif crop of artists working with KCB bank. This crop also includes Gengetone heavyweights, Ethic Entertainment. She was also part of the Safaricom MPESA 18 YEARS celebration shows. Opportunities keep following her. That right there is what we call taking advantage of the moment and milking it to exhaustion.
