Olamide Announces New Project ‘Ikigai’ Featuring Fireboy DML, Asake & Lil Kesh
Nigerian rap heavyweight Olamide surprised fans with the announcement of his new project just hours after performing at Davido and Chioma’s wedding. Titled “Ikigai,” which means “reason for being” or “life’s purpose” in Japanese, this 7-track project is highly anticipated.
“Ikigai” marks Olamide’s 10th solo album and 15th project overall. It features collaborations with both current and former YBNL associates. Fans can look forward to hearing YBNL stars Fireboy DML and Asake on track 3, “Uptown Disco.” The project also includes a reunion with former YBNL members Pheelz, Young Jonn, and Lil Kesh on the closing track, “Synchro System.”
This announcement follows the success of Olamide’s 2023 album “Unruly,” which included hit songs like “Trumpet” featuring CKay, “New Religion” with Asake, and “Jinja.”
