YBNL rapper and chief, Olamideis unquestionably prepared for the arrival of another banger, scarcely a month after the arrival of Eru, he has declared another approaching gbedu labeled "Greenlight" dropping 2nd October 2020.
Olamide as of late marked a Deal With Itel Mobile NG and a Joint Venture Deal with Empire Music which has seen the global accomplishment of Fireboy DML's latest undertaking Apollo.
As Olamide prepares for his own activities, he served us Eru and now the foreseen track – Greenlight"
Nigerian multi-talented indigenous Yoruba rap star and YBNL boss, Olamide has finally released his highly anticipated banger single titled, “Eru“.
Spoiler alert: there are no actual bars in this song. But then it’s by rapper so it’s just as well.
After ten years of being at the top of the game, four of which he has
shown that he can dabble into a little pop as well as rap, it’s no
surprise that Olamide is singing again. That’s what he does on Eru, his
new single which came out this past Tuesday.
By now fans have come to accept that their favorite Yoruba rapper
could also be their favorite singer. Sometimes, it appears as though
they demand it. The reception to his 999 EP in February wasn’t as
feverish as an Olamide project is typically is. If there’s one thing
about Olamide, he’s proven to be resilient: as fans tagged 999 an album,
he insisted it wasn’t and that the album was coming later. In July, he
released Tesinapot along with rising singer Jaido P.
Eru is different as Olamide does a full Drake on the song. The melody
and harmonies on the track would make mainstream Afropop acts jealous
and it yet underscores Olamide’s legendary status. In one breath he’s
singing soulfully in Yoruba of being blessed with unlimited riches, the
next he’s crooning in pidgin English how he’s going to make people
“manya” and to let it be known, he sprinkles a little street lingo in
the tone that he first became famous for.
All through Olamide’s career, he has brought the streets to the
mainstream. Olamide is known for making “razz” the new cool and his
successive OLIC concert series at Eko Hotel is proof that his street
cred is just as his mainstream acceptability. Eru ensures that he does
that again: don’t be surprised when you have seen teeny-boppers and alte
fans vibe to it and expect “awon Ibile United” to make it a street
anthem.
Eru is a sleeper hit, one which will extend Olamide’s reign as king.
