Olamide Unveils Surprise Project ‘Ikigai’ Featuring Asake and Fireboy
In a surprising development, Olamide revealed his new project, ‘Ikigai,’ on June 26, 2024, following a surprise performance at Davido and Chioma’s wedding. The 7-track EP, named after the Japanese concept meaning “reason for being” or “life’s purpose,” features YBNL stars Fireboy and Asake on the track ‘Uptown Disco.’ Additionally, Olamide collaborates with former YBNL associates Pheelz, Young Jonn, and Lil Kesh on ‘Synchro System.’
Prior to the announcement, Olamide teased ‘Hello Habibi’ on Instagram, which is also part of the EP. This project comes as a surprise since Olamide hinted in 2023 that his last album ‘Unruly’ might be his final release. ‘Ikigai’ will be Olamide’s 10th solo project and 15th overall, continuing his legacy of hit records in Nigerian music. Fans are eagerly anticipating the YBNL reunion showcased in ‘Ikigai,’ set for release on June 26.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
