OdumoduBlvck Confirms Davido, Skepta, and Stormzy Features on Forthcoming Album ‘The Industry Machine’
Nigerian rapper OdumoduBlvck has announced that his forthcoming album, The Industry Machine, will feature heavyweight collaborations with global stars including Afrobeats icon Davido, British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, and UK rap titan Stormzy.
Speaking during an interview on Radio Jusmen, the rapper, known for his gritty lyricism and bold statements, disclosed that the highly anticipated project is expected to drop later in 2025. It will mark his third studio album in as many years.
“The Industry Machine will feature Davido, Skepta, Stormzy. It’s intense and it’s going to change a lot for us,” he revealed while speaking on the project’s guest list.
According to OdumoduBlvck, The Industry Machine is not just another album—it is a defining moment for his artistry. Drawing a metaphor from the Bible, he described his previous project, The Machine Is Coming, as a precursor to the main act, likening it to John the Baptist heralding the arrival of Jesus.
He further declared himself as the central force of this evolution in the music scene.
“I’m the machine,” he said, emphasizing that his presence should be awaited with anticipation.
The upcoming collaboration with Davido would not be their first. OdumoduBlvck previously featured on “Funds,” a track off Davido’s fifth studio album, 5ive, released earlier this year.
The rapper has also joined forces with Skepta on “Jangilova”, a joint effort that included a surprise appearance from British actor and rapper Idris Elba.
Beyond album plans, OdumoduBlvck is currently embroiled in a heated feud with fellow rapper Blaqbonez. The clash, which has gained traction across social media platforms, intensified after Blaqbonez appeared on A-Q’s track Who’s Really Rapping, widely interpreted as a diss aimed at OdumoduBlvck.
In the interview, the Abuja-born rapper did not hold back, taking shots at Blaqbonez for self-declaring as the best rapper in the country.
He labelled the claim as disrespectful to the industry’s founding figures.
“It’s a disrespect to the veteran stars whose struggle built the genre in Nigeria,” he remarked.
Although many fans are clamouring for a battle rap showdown to settle the dispute, OdumoduBlvck maintains that the feud has surpassed lyrical competition and now carries deeper implications.
As anticipation builds for The Industry Machine, OdumoduBlvck continues to assert his place at the heart of Nigeria’s hip-hop evolution both musically and culturally.
