Olamide has released his keenly expected self-titled album
Grammy-nominated rapper Olamide has released his highly anticipated self-titled album.
Released on June 19, 2025, the project packs 17 tracks with guest appearances from Nigerian and international stars.
The album features guest artists such as Nigerian megastar Wizkid, Afrobeats hitmakers Asake, Seyi Vibez, Young Jonn, and BOJ.
Other artists on the album include Afrobeats stars Darkoo and SPINALL, American hip-hop icon Dr. DRE, Jamaican superstar Popcaan, and Latino star Daecolm.
Olamide’s self-titled album will be his 11th solo project, and it captures his longevity and ability to constantly evolve and stay tuned to the pulse of the culture.
Ahead of the album, Olamide has released two singles, the latest being ’99’ with guest verses from Asake, Seyi Vibez, Young Jonn, and Daecolm.
’99’ comes after the release of ‘Kai’, featuring Wizkid, who appears on two songs on the album.
The song becomes the latest collaboration between the duo, whose partnership spans over a decade.
The album follows his last project, ‘Ikigai,’ which is the Japanese word for “a reason to live.” The project included the songs ‘Metaverse’, ‘Habibi’, and ‘Uptown Disco’ featuring Asake and Fireboy.
With over a decade in the music industry, Olamide has remained at the summit, where he has become one of the greatest Nigerian musicians of the 21st century.
Beyond being a hitmaker, Olamide is a successful label boss whose YBNL imprint has churned out notable stars including Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Fireboy, and Asake.
Olamide’s new album is another addition to his large discography that reflects his status as one of Nigeria’s most illustrious hitmakers.
