(PLEASE CHECK OUt MY PROFiLE AFTER READING THIS)

On the 15th of March 1989 a Star was born to
the Adedeji family. He was named Olamide which
literarily means “Wealth has come”. No doubt
that name was given to the 22 year old more in
hope than certainty, well ladies and gentlemen
the prophecy has come to pass.
A year and some into his professional music
career, Olamide has become a house hold name
and just in case you don’t know who he is I suggest you google ENI DURO. ENI DURO; the
breakout single from his Debut Album has
become an anthem for the streets, clubs, lecture
halls and conference room.
Armed with only his pen and paper, the 300 level
mass communication part time student of Tai
Solarin University has released what is without a
doubt an outstanding debut album. Titled
RapSoDi Olamide’s 1st offering is a 16 tracker.
Sometime in 2000, Olamide decided he would like
to pursue a career in music. When asked why
music the Fast rising Rap Artiste says “I found out
I was gifted in it so I had to explore it, it’s my life,
my hustle, my world”. In 2010 fresh faced
Olamide performed on arguably the biggest stage
in the Nigerian Music scene; “The Hip Hop World
Awards”.
Olamide’s road to fame is one for the history
books, this time one year ago he was a regular kid
growing up in the Heart of Lagos Mainland;
Bariga. Even though Olamide insists he is still that
Bariga boy a lot has changed in his life. Today he
is Olamide a Recording Artiste signed onto I'd CABASA’s CODED TUNEZ Record label and
managed by Industry heavy weight Toni Payne.
Make no mistake his celebrity status was not
handed to him on a silver platter, an immense
amount of hard work and pure unbridled talent is
responsible for the man we see today.
The un-assuming Olamide has performed at
almost every major event in Lagos this year and
continues to headline shows left right and center.
What is it about Olamide that has made him a
fans’ favourite? Olamide raps in a unique blend of
Yoruba and English with lyrics that will leave the
listener both speechless and intrigued. Olamide’s
dexterity is one of the many things that endear
him to his fans.
One minute he is delivering his rap in fluent
English and the next he switches effortlessly into
Yoruba. Ambitious Olamide will tell you he is still
on his way there and if given a chance would
fancy collaborations with International Superstars;
Jay-Z, Ludacris, Drake, and Lil’ Wayne.
Where Olamide is silent his songs speak for him,
Eni Duro, Apa ti jabo and Omo toh shan (featuring
Wizkid) are currently on heavy rotation in several
Radio stations and Music TV channels within and
outside Nigeria. His Debut Album sees a bevy of
Nigerian hip hop artistes making guest
appearances, some of which are; ID CABASA,
LORD OF AJASA, 9ICE, REMINICE, WIZKID, TERRY
THA RAPMAN and management mate ADOL.
Focused entirely on his chosen career path when
asked for his other interests asides music Olamide
replied “Music is all I know and all I do”.
The Rapper comes complete with a mission
statement “I am here to preach realness generally
and make the youths believe in whatever they do
and what little they have because with God
everything is possible”. In an industry filled with
Artistes spitting in American accents whether real
or imagined it is a relief to have at least one
artiste we can call 100% Naija. Olamide is the new
face of Nigerian Hip Hop; Young, Talented,
Dedicated, True to his Calling and he is set for
bigger and better things.
Olamide’s Debut Album RapSoDi is available in
stores and even on street corners; there is
absolutely no reason why you should not boast of
a copy in your music collection. As Olamide says
on Track one of his Album “I’m Going in” I
suggest we all go in.
Asides his debut album you can also listen to
Olamide’s verse on Samklef’s Mi Ole Beru,
amazing stuff.
Remember “Olamide is here just like the 1st day
of the year” and if that didn’t do it for you then
I’ll leave you with this line “Like Java I’ve got
game I’m from the project and I’ve got fame tell
me why the eff I gats go dey fill form for MTN
project fame”
lately has has had mad collabo with alot of
nigerian big names
