Olamide & albums
Being an artist with 12 studio albums which he released every year since 2011, the rapper is one of the few with a huge volume of such.
On each project, there are always collaborative efforts, and a good number of the features include upcoming artists.
From Rapsodi to UY Scuti, baddo’s transition in music has been diversified with loads of talents.
He goes hard on his productions and always gives his fans something to boast of, truly he is remarkable!
Olamide & his relationship with upcoming artists
As revealed earlier, Olamide is passionate about investing his time in upcoming singers and giving them a platform to showcase their talent.
This is one of the major reasons he has successfully established some of the hottest artists today. Examples are Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Fireboy DML, and so on.
Likewise, his imprint in the careers of Naira Marley, Bella Shmurda, and others is a major reason they hit stardom quickly.
A post shared by Punch reveals the singer’s reason for helping upcoming stating;
“I and Phyno have been cool friends from way back, over nine years now. We have always been cool, doing collaborations almost every year. But the other guys (artistes) 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 went through that stage, and I know how it feels
This clearly shows beyond all things, Olamide’s choices are gotten from a place of reflection.

Reasons for our choice with Olamide
A major fraction of the reasons has been established already, as we have expatiated on his relationship with upcoming artists.
However, it is imperative to understand that Olamide is a diverse artist and this he has proved over time.
Thus, having an Olamide with these young stars would be an easy connection and definitely one to sustain his relevance.
Moreso, a major percentage of these youngsters have their origin from the streets, and Olamide being from one makes it easier to connect with home.
Who are these young stars? (An Olamide album)
Otega
In 2018, this youngster rose to fame after his “Stay Woke” freestyle gained street attention.
Since then, he has been on the lips of the streets and would certainly have a great tune with Olamide if given the chance.
It will be like having a remix of Loading feat. Bad Boy Timz as this guy is full of energy.
Kabex
Like his counterpart Otega, Kabex is another talented street jammer whose vocals are greatly appreciated.
He started off as a rapper on Instagram with numerous freestyles till he got the needed attention to promote his talent.
For a potential music bomb like him who drops bars with his local dialect, Yoruba, this kind of opportunity with Olamide will serve as an avenue to explode.
As a matter of fact, there is much possibility of him taking on a ‘Zlatan’ mode if given the chance.
Balloranking
This is another street sensation whose energy is unmatched!
Not much is known about the singer, but this we know and that is the inspiration he dishes out to the streets.
Ballo as he is fondly called has given us back-to-back hits from Blessed to Thankful, etc.
Having him on an Olamide album will certainly be one the streets greatly anticipate.
More of the artists include; Seyi Vibez, Superwozzy, Kashy, Small Baddo, etc.

Details of the album, Accomplishments & Recognitions
Everyone knows Olamide does not drop an album with no effect, that’s another reason he is the boss!
Over the years, Olamide comes with a new wave of artists as he gives them a platform to excel.
This kind of album, certainly, will be street-oriented, considering the body of artists on the project. A good attribution will be his third studio album “Baddest Guy Ever Liveth” which did magical wonders on the streets.
Also, this album will be a diverse of genres as we would have hip-hop, Afropop, Afrobeat in all uniqueness.
For the upcoming, it will be an avenue to hit a larger audience and expand their coasts on our playlists. Also, it will also be a source of potential awards for the youngsters.
While for Olamide it will be an avenue to continue his good deeds with his name imprinted on the success of some of them.
Furthermore, possible awards are not left out as we believe the wonders it will produce.
We have not forgotten the possible chances of a flop, however, we are certain if someone has released 12 albums with massive relevance, the chances of a flop is slim.
Conclusion ( an Olamide album)
Olamide is a music genius and Mp3bullet believes in an album by the singer with features strictly from upcoming street hitmakers would be a bomb!
