Rick Ross and Odumodublvck discuss joint album possibilities
Excitement has been ignited among fans as American rap mogul Rick Ross engages in discussions with Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck regarding the potential of collaborating on a joint album.
The dialogue between Ross and Odumodublvck commenced in February, with Ross expressing his admiration for African artists, specifically highlighting Odumodublvck and singer Portable. Ross conveyed his desire to spotlight African talent through collaborative ventures with artists from the continent.
During an Instagram live session with Odumodublvck, surfaced online on Thursday, March 7, 2024, Ross reaffirmed his keenness to collaborate with the Nigerian rapper, expressing eagerness for a joint album release. Ross emphasized his intention to offer a platform for Odumodublvck to showcase his talent.
“So tell me one thing. When do we do this album I want this album out. I want to let my real n**a shine. What do you think are the possibilities,” he said. Odumodublvck replied, “I am a Christian and the Bible said what the Lord is set to do, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, mouths cannot speak of the possibilities”.
In their discussion, Ross asked Odumodublvck about three Nigerian artists who have influenced him. The Declan Rice hitmaker promptly listed Burna Boy, 2Baba, and Davido, alongside the late Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, whom he fondly referred to as “our pastor on the street.”
“Give me three Nigerian artistes that inspire you being a young singer coming up. So when I sit back and listen to your music tonight I want to go back to your root and show three Nigerian artistes that really influence you coming up,” Ross asked.
“He is not old but I listen to Burna Boy coming up. Davido? That is the real ni**a. That is my brother. Everybody listens to Fela. Fela is like our pastor. Pastor to the streets. Finally, I go for 2face Idibia. Check for 2face Idibia. The first guy to have broken out. He sang the African Queen,” Odumodublvck replied.
In reply to Odumodublvck’s selections, Ross pledged to connect with him during his North American tour alongside Shallipopi. Furthermore, Ross advised the young artist to stay devoted to his craft and to persist in empowering his team and family through his musical journey.
The interaction between Ross and Odumodublvck has sparked enthusiasm within the music industry, with fans eagerly awaiting the potential collaboration between the American rap legend and the emerging Nigerian talent.
As talks progress, both artists remain dedicated to exploring the opportunities for crafting music that transcends boundaries and celebrates cultural diversity.
