if there is one person in bcbg who should not be talked about in what we criticise of bcbg its certainly him abraham,by a massive distance jb's favorite in their generation the only one who was given an album in front of the whole group(even though in the long run it created issues because of mind games)
he will be solo for 10 years in a couple of months and after an ok start he lost himself bouncing from werra to koffi to fally to be his mentors instead of putting in the right effort overall,almost a common problem from most of the recent ex bcbg members gone solo in kinshasa,fally ferre despite all the good management and time they had in their bands maison mere and latino did not have an easy ride to build their solo career,they faced challenges and dealt with it
look at robinio,it took him 7 years of having hits after hits for most of the time prior to making it to europe via the same jester route(since abraham uses his difficulties to go to europe as he was doing in bcbg as the excuse for failing to put a good solo career together),even though he has had a poor last 4 years or so,the fact he put in the right work before positioned him well enough to handle the current downfall
our criticism of bcbg are valid,but robinio and the urban generation prove that you dont always need to have been under mad spotlight of a big leader and his management to build a decent solo career for yourself
