When asked how he found the artists he featured on the UY Schuti album during an interview with a Grammys reporter, Olamide says that he attempts to “search for people who are incredibly good but don’t have the platform” for each new record.

He claimed his wife introduced him to Fave’s sound, and he discovered Jaywillz and Layydoe freestyling on Instagram.

In his words;

“Apart from Phyno—we’ve been cool Gs from way back, over nine years now. We’ve always been cool, doing collabos almost every year. But the other guys on the project are very new on the market.

That’s something I do on almost every project. I always try to scout for guys that are very talented but don’t have the platform, people supporting them and all that. I was underground. I went through that stage, and I know how it feels.”

Pon Pon feat. Fave is a fan favourite from Olamide’s UY Scuti album, and he revealed how he discovered the brilliant act;

“Yeah, in Nigeria. One of them, my wife introduced me to her sound. That’s Fave. I stumbled on Layydoe’s freestyle on IG. Jaywillz, same thing. I saw one of his records playing on the Explore page and clicked it. It was dope! I clicked on the link in his bio to check out his whole EP and it was sounding good. I was like, “How come this dude is not popping yet?”

In a chat with Apple Music, Baddo explains in detail what his album is all about.

Carpe Diem was the beginning of the new me, and I took it to the next level of brand Olamide’s new direction on this particular project,” Olamide tells Apple Music. With a widened palette, he packages the lessons of his early street days into pop ditties that reflect his expanding worldview.

“I’m a citizen of the world now, so my choice of sound is a combination of all the beautiful music I’ve heard,” he says.

“This is a full-time pop album, and it’s way, way above everything I’ve ever done. My son is a huge fan of astrology, and one day he asked me what the biggest star in the universe was. I found out; it stuck in my head and I titled the project that because it’s the biggest move I’ve made in my career.
