A month ago [11-11-2014], Olamide dropped his 4th studio album: STREET OT(overtake). It displaced m.i's
chairman album off the iTunes chat immediately...
funny enough, I reviewed chairman, now I'm
reviewing the album that OTed chairman.
Ola is no doubt one of the best artistes in this
country. From his debut album in 2010 till this
moment, he has consistently waohed us. From the
time I.d cabasa hyped him on his Facebook statuses
in early 2010 till date, I've had no reason to doubt Ola
baby.

ALL I REVIEW BELOW ARE MY OPINIONS... they are
not necessarily correct and right....your own views
amount to story for the gods. Seriously?!!!




1. Olamide ft Pasuma & Lil Kesh – Oga Nla
Grade: A
Genre: fuji hip-hop

The album couldn't have started any more better. Oga
nla's voice resonated strongly all through the hook.
Ola gave us his mission statement. One that has
guided him since his inception in the industry. As
usual Lil Kesh had nothing to talk about.

2. Olamide – Zero Joy
Grade: C
Genre: Reggaeton Rap

On this one, Ola goes Jamaican on the hook. & he
addresses the same thing he usually addresses. With
a flow that one could easily mistake for tongue-
twisting, he does justice to the 1-verse(d) track.
Another album intro I suppose.

3. Olamide – Blood Money
Grade: B
Genre: hip-hop

Dope track. Laced with some raps and patois rap-
singing. Hook was a reprise. Nicely-sung bridge. 3
dynamic verses.

4. Olamide – Ya Wa
Grade: C
Genre: Afro r n b (rap and blues)

Ola always come with various degrees of concepts
on his album. The love theme has resonated all
through all his 4 albums. This party track goes hard
in the typical Olamide's signature.

5. Olamide – Hood Rap
Grade: C
Genre: Hood-Pop

Laced with some opera music as sample, which
doubles as an underlying chorus. This track is where
Ola "paras" for a variety of people.

6. Olamide – The Real MVP
Grade: B
Genre: Pop

Ola never stops displaying his singing skills and
versatility on albums. This party track seems
average melodically , but the beats compensates for
that. Only a real mvp can be this versatile.

7. Olamide ft Viktoh – Up In The Club
Grade: D
Genre: comedy-rap

Lewd!!! Unserious!!! is how I describe this song.
lewd!!! Viktoh gets funny on this one,& whatever
language he sang in at the end of his verse I don't
know.

8. Olamide ft Don Jazzy – Skelemba
Grade: C
Genre: Afro

Obviously the chemistry between the Don and baddo
isn't top-notch yet...mmaybe in subsequent
collaborations. Skelemba is a Street lingo(whatever it
means). Not too bad a collabo and joint.

9. Olamide – Prayer For client
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop

One of the realest songs on street ot. He samples an
hausa undertone from Godwon's no days off the
mixtape. This is the official y-y boys' anthem. And of
course, only a y b n l can relate with his brothers. He
wants all to "get money".

10. Olamide – Batifeori
Grade: C
Genre: "Gospel"

At least, "mercy said no" was sampled on the chorus,
albeit with a yoruba-accent. Gospel Djs will like this
track. Here, he says his wishes come true (Batifeori)

11. Olamide ft Chinko Ekun & Lil Kesh – Bang
Grade: D
Genre: Southern hip-hop

Trap beats are the in-thing in hip-hop right now.
Chinko Ekun kicks off the track with madt badt lyrics
and flows (HE SOUNDS LIKE BASE ONE). Lil Kesh
though, below par again on this one. I've a feeling
baddo decided to remove his own verse off the track.
I think he did one.

12. Olamide – Goons Mi
Grade: A
Genre: Afro Pop

His first single off the album, it kinda laid down the
foundation for the street ot. Definitely a street
anthem. He went hard on this one, bragging, then
giving props to the streets for the support and fans'
base he enjoys. Bajinotu!!! Pooka!

13. Olamide – 1999
Grade: A
Genre: Trado Rap

Argue from now till infinity of how baddo isn't a full-
time rapper, and of how he shouldn't be termed an
emcee, it won't yield nothing. His dad's close shave
with death in 1999, which he narrates here brought
out the grind in him. So whatever must be done,
musically, lyrically or whateverly to get the dough
must be done. Cest Fine!

14. Olamide – Falila Ketan
Grade: B
Genre: "Kegite"

This would pass for the super eagles theme-songs
we often hear most times, except if we change lyrics.
Rated 18 and mild-lewd, it employs a high-tempo
upbeat. That's all. Apologies to all the offended Falilas

15. Olamide ft Phyno – In My Circle
Grade: C
Genre: hip-hop

The chemistry between these two is just baddoly
phynomenal! Purely rap. And these two remind us
why they are top two dialect-spitting emcees in 9ja.

16. Olamide – Alaaru
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop

The beat could be mistaken for an 007 theme song.
Violin-strapped beats. Tight hook. My own favorite
song off the track. Here, he prays for more money.
Jawo!!!

17. Olamide ft Viktoh & Chinko Ekun – 100
To Million
Grade: D
Genre: hip-hop?

Personally, persona personally!!! I don't dig viktoh, I
just don't see his potentials no matter how hard I try
to stare and look. That chorus was below below par
par. Ola talks of his past and gives odes to his lost
goons, and stresses the money ish. The Chinese Lion
(chinko ekun) goes harder on his 2nd appearance on
the album, I only hope he keeps going this hard.

18. Olamide – Story For The Gods
Grade: A
Genre: Afro pop

This song generated some uproars online and
morality got questioned. Articles and rejoinders flew
all over blogs. But I'm sure the songs will win
awards. I won't express my own views on the song.
There won't be a need to.
PS: The grade comes as a result of the song's
acceptability and not it's message

19. Olamide ft Reminisce – Hustle Loyalty
Respect
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop toh badt

My best song off the album(nt fav). From his hook
and verse(s), Ola makes rap sweet and sweet rap.
Boda Remilekun brings his always-sweet flows on
this one. On here, they present the theme; hustle,
loyalty and respect. The ibile boys ain't joking though.
Whatever reminisce took before delivering those last
breathless-eight bars though.

20. Olamide B-Banks – Possible
Grade: C
Genre: inspiration

Ola sings on this one too. The claro brings a wide
variety of inspiration, doesn't it? A new bank called B-
banks features here. The song passes for a Qdot
song.

21. Olamide ft Lil Keshi, Chuka, Chinko
Ekun & Penenazi – Usain Bolt P
Grade: B
Genre: hip-hop

Lil kesh & chinko Ekun appear for the 3rd time. The
former doesn't really impress, or maybe I'm just a
hater. Chinko Ekun is that spitter to watch out for
2015. Chuka,I think the ngt1 finalist, made some local
raps here, and even pepenazi, a typical phone(tic)-
rapper spits in yoruba here.(though I almost mistook
him for loose kaynon)

22. Olamide – Eni Suun
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop

Eni sun (y'all won't sleep)? Really? My guy, I'm
dozing already... . Ola tells us he won't ever turn
down, he wants to pass a message across: HIS
CONSISTENCY AND HARDGRIND!!! An album couldn't
have ended any more better. (Na so I talk for track 1)


All views are mine... those that know me won't be
surprised on how I expressed them. So don't hate
and don't bite. That was my own side of the story (for
the gods ).
