My people, if you no sabi who be ODUMODUBLVCK yet, e be like say you don miss plenty correct jam! Dis guy don turn the industry upside down since summer 2022 when him burst on our screens. If you no catch up on am, well, una don lose oh!
Last time we hear from am, na when him release ‘PICANTO’ wey feature Zlatan and Ecko Miles. Na wetin I dey talk? If you no see wetin dis guy dey do, dey use your ear dey deaf!
Fast forward to today, him don sign with big boys like NATIVE Records and Def Jam Recordings, and abeg, e no stop there! Dis year, him just drop new project wey dem dey call ‘THE MACHINE IS COMING‘. You fit call am the ‘machine’ wey go power your playlist, no be joke.
As him dey prepare to drop him latest album, ‘INDUSTRY MACHINE‘ on dis coming Monday, I gather three writers wey sabi music to gist abt five questions wey go help us understand wetin we expect. No be every day you see correct artist dey rise like dis, abi?
One writer, H, talk am sharp – say after him listen to ‘THE MACHINE IS COMING’, e don make up him mind say ODUMODUBLVCK na raw, stubborn, and bold musician. E even compare am to Tupac, talk say him no let anything stop am.
Another, Z, dey hail ODUMODUBLVCK say na finally him don find him voice. But, make I tell you true, W no gree say him fit join the Top 5 rappers yet. E dey talk about legacy, say we no fit just put person for Top 5 because e sabi flow alone. You need to pack full album wey go last for years, and ODUMODUBLVCK still dey work on that.
As dem discuss, I fit sense say everybody get their mind for who fit be next level collaborator for ODUMODUBLVCK. H dey give shoutout to Odeal or Tay Iwar, Z dey eye Omah Lay, while W want make Burna Boy jump on one track. You see as dem dey bond?!
Concerning him use of features, e be like DJ Khaled spirit dey follow am. H dey reason say e dey positive, say the more fine guests, the better vibe. But Z no gree, say sometimes e fit make the work no sharp enough. W still dey talk say too many features fit hide his voice. Na serious matter o!
Now, wetin we go expect from ‘INDUSTRY MACHINE’? Will e be Album of the Year? H dey think say e go win the moment, Z shar make e no come last for the critics, and W say e no fit even argue, no question!
So, make we just dey watch as ODUMODUBLVCK go show us wetin him dey prepare, because one thing we sabi for sure: dis na one ride wey we no wan miss!
