NIGERIAN RAPPER, OLAMIDE SET TO RELEASE 6TH STUDIO ALBUM

The Nigerian rapper who has released released a
studio album every year since his debut in 2011,
is working on maintaining his figures and keeping
his momentum going, by dropping a studio album
in 2016.
The new album will be released in December, as
songs on the album have already been recorded.
It will feature hit song ‘Who you epp’, along with
other singles. No official title, artwork, and
tracklist has been released.
This will be Olamide’s 7 album. In 2011, he
launched his career with “Rapsodi”, and went
further to release a string of albums every year
including “YBNL” (2012), “Baddest Guy Ever
Liveth” (2013), “Street OT” (2014), “2
Kings” (joint album with Phyno, 2015), and “Eyan
Mayweather” (2015).
2016 has been a big year for the rapper. Under
his leadership and guidance, his record label,
YBNL, has released an album (“YAGI”) for rapper
Lil Kesh, who have subsequently left the
company, to found his personal imprint.
It is currently still promoting Adekunle Gold’s
“Gold” album. He has also began work on
another of his signed rappers, Chinko Ekun, who
is releasing singles.
Olamide recently said he will never pay money to
have an international collaboration.
Speaking with HipTV, the ‘Shakiti bobo’ rapper
made it quite clear that he won’t go down the
route of parting away with cash for an
international collaboration.
The rapper is of the belief that if he puts in the
right amount of work, together with the grace of
God, his music will speak for him and take him
so far, giving him the deserved international
recognition.
He made reference to Fela Kuti who didn’t have
to do any international collaboration to penetrate
the international market.
“Fela no do any international collaboration before
they recognise Fela for international market,” the
rapper said.
The ‘baddo’ rapper attributes the street as what
makes him tick as an artist “We rep the streets
and the street is the majority”, he said.
