The songs took out the street around 2016 and dominated the airwaves, introducing supremacy in street hop.

Omo Alhaji was accompanied by a great visual that topped most music television around the country.

Apparently, the singles were enough for a lengthy time, which however prevented Ycee from releasing an album or EP around the time frame.
