- Olamide surprises his fans with his new EP, Ikigai / 生き甲斐, Vol. 1, featuring Asake, Fireboy DML, and others.
Olamide’s new EP, Ikigai / 生き甲斐 Vol. 1, serves as a reminder that there is a reason to live.
Olamide maintains his position in the music industry, as he has never boycotted consistency in the game. He unexpectedly abandoned a new project, labelling it with the Japanese word Ikigai, which means “a reason to live.”. Of course, you’ll agree that the YBNL boss isn’t simply a genius but a hardworking musician in the Nigerian music scene.
He never tires of his inventiveness and individuality, as he enlists his label mates, such as Asake and Fireboy DML, as well as former signees Young Jonn, Pheelz, and Lil Kesh, for his new project.
The 7-track EP surprised his followers since he published it just hours after revealing the title and artwork of the new record. His partnership with Empire has had nothing but positive effects on his career and legacy as an artist in the industry.
Recall, In 2023, Spotify ranked Olamide the most influential street pop artist of his generation. He is also acknowledged as his generation’s most influential street pop performer, with numerous accolades for bringing street pop into public awareness as a unique musical genre.
The new project Ikigai features songs such as Metaverse, Uptown Disco, Makaveli, Knockout, Hello Habibi, Morowore, and Synchro System.
