After taking a short break following the success of his self-titled album “Olamidé”, the rap icon is back to shake things up again. This upcoming release will mark his first full project in a year.
In June last year, Olamide gave us Carpe Diem, an album that was pure fire from start to finish. That project not only made waves in Naija but also showed that the YBNL boss is still on top of his game effortlessly switching between rap, Afro vibes, and everything in between.
Now, the legend is returning with what’s set to be his 11th studio album, and if you know anything about Olamide, you know say he no dey drop anyhow.
As usual, Olamide don’t play when it comes to collaborations. He kicked off the album rollout with the release of “Kai” — a track that features none other than Starboy himself, Wizkid.
As expected, the collab don already scatter charts and social media. Fans have been eating it up, and it’s safe to say the hype for the full project is real.

This is shaping up to be a solid addition to his legendary catalog, and fans can’t wait to see how he blends his old-school edge with new-school sauce.
With 11 albums in the bag, Olamide has truly earned his flowers. He’s not just a rapper, he’s a trailblazer who’s paved the way for countless new school acts. Every time he returns, it’s not just music, it’s a cultural moment.
