Olamide: Recent Episodes

View Details

Hey, guys, it's Olamide here The new generation of Afrobeats artists. have Imbibed the culture of keeping distance from social media because of the toxicity that comes with the territory, especially when they release an album or new music. They just let the music do the talking. Artists like Ckay and Tems are really not active on social media. Their success over the years has been the one speaking the loudest volume. They have proved that if you are consistent with your craft and you have enough wins to show for it, accumulating fans will come easy as long as there is reliability of bragging rights for the fans because people love to associate with success. On the other hand, I believe Social Media's power can’t be undermined because social media is one of the easiest ways to connect with fans. Artists like Wizkid, Davido, Olamide and the likes built their fandom through their activeness on social media, right from the early stage of their careers. Blaq Bones, for example, has also mastered the act of social media promotion. He uses social media to his own advantage. He engages his audience often times, and when he drops a song. He puts in the work to force his music down to people’s throat. Even if you are not a fan, you will respect his work rate and give his music listening ears. But All in all I believe there is no rule to these things. Artist just need to find the balance.

Hey guys, It's Olamide here, as we all know that Davido has been one of the leading artists in Africa for more than a decade now He is a certified hit maker, and he has remarkably contributed to the growth of Afrobeats music since his last album dropped He has Shut Down 02 Arena been on World Cup song Hayya Hayya featured on many. hit songs like Ke star remix with Focalistic High. with Adekunle Gold, baddest boy remix with Skiibii Dada remix with Young John He crowned. His efforts by dropping stand strong. He talked about his pains and struggles on the song, which is quite impressive for me. I really like the song. Recently, he also shut down Coca Cola Arena in Dubai. But there is a missing piece to complete this yearly standard. Could he possibly be declining seriously? I don't know, because his second studio album, A Good Time, was a solid project. that houses two of the biggest Afrobeats songs in history, but his last album, A Better Time, which dropped in 2020 seemed a bit rushed to me. I believe the Davido and his team should have taken more time on the album He is that guy many artists call upon for a remix because of his delivery and influence. But when it comes to his own songs and achievements, things don't just gel the way they should lately, or do you think he’s going through the phase of experimentation and exploration?

Hey guys, it's Olamide here and I will be talking about how Olamide Baddo deserves the top three spots In afrobeats greatest of all time conversation. ahead of Burna boy aside, Wizkid and Davido, I believe Olamide Baddo has been, the most consistent artiste for more than a decade now, since he came into the limelight, he has never missed out a year without dropping back to back hits. He has many solid albums in his catalogue, and his impact can be overemphasised. He has given numerous artists. Their first major, hit Songs, brought many upcoming artistes into the limelight with just a feature. He made many artists superstars from the likes of Lil Kesh to Adekunle Gold to, Asake, and the Latest Global Superstar in town, Fire Boy, which has been doing pretty amazing for himself. Olamide Baddo is the only Nigerian artist with three album of the year? awards at the Headies and the kind of artist other artists go to when they need, um, a hit song? Or acceptance, especially the upcoming artists Burna Boy, on the other hand, started being in the conversation in 2018 even though he has dropped three solid albums, won a Grammy award, killed many shows and done many impactful, stuff for himself in recent years. I still believe Olamide Baddo should be ahead of him.

Hey, guys, my name is Olamide, and I will be talking about how this new generation of artists are bridging the gap between them and the old generation of artists. The reason. It feels like they haven’t surpassed the likes of Wizkid Burna Boy and Davido, yet is because of Wizkid Burna Boy and, Davido’s, innovative minds, their level of consistency. We can also talk about their hardwork, influence and star power that supersede that of this new generation of artists. But if they snooze, I'm afraid the likes of Ckay Tems and Fire Boy are ready to take their spots look at what Ckay did with Love Nwantiti. The song has been certified in more than 15 countries, and it has also accumulated over one billion streams for a version of the song, which has never been done before by anyone. Fire Boy’s Song with Ed Sheeran Peru, is also the biggest Afrobeats song ever in the UK. The song peaked at number two on the UK singles chart and It has spent more than 20 weeks on the chart Tems. On the other hand, has three entries on Billboard Hot 100 she ties with Wizkid and She's about to make it, four with her song free mind, that would be the most for any African artists ever. For me. I'll give it up for this new generation of artists because they are really trying big up to them.
