Olamide Returns with ‘Ikigai Vol. 1,’ Rekindling His Passion for Music and Elevating Nigerian Genres


In an exclusive interview, Nigerian hip-hop legend Olamide discusses his return to music with ‘Ikigai Vol. 1,’ after a nearly four-year hiatus.

Rapper, singer, and record executive Olamide is one of Nigeria’s longest-serving hip-hop artists and one of the most influential figures in Africa as a whole. The EP features vocals from Fireboy DML, Asake, Pheelz, Young John, and Lil Kesh. If you think of a rapper in Nigeria like Odumodublvck, he is doing straight hip-hop drill, but because he is African, we’ll call him an Afrobeats artist.
