Ever since Olamide emerged in 2010 with the freestyle-inspired hip-hop single, ‘Eni Duro’, he has kept us on our toes. His first three albums, ‘Rapsodi’, ‘YBNL’ and ‘Baddest Guy Ever Liveth’ were ingenuous rap albums that defined hip-hop as a commercial genre in Nigeria. From his fourth tape, Street OT, he began to incorporate more pop leaning sounds as he delivered Afropop anthems like ‘Story for the gods’ (2014), ‘Lagos Boys’ (2015), ‘Wo’ (2017), ‘Science Student’ (2018), ‘Woske’ (2019), and ‘Infinity’ (2020).

“I’m a citizen of the world now, so my choice of sound is a combination of all the beautiful music I’ve heard. This is a full-time pop album, and its way, way above everything I’ve ever done. My son is a huge fan of astrology, and one day he asked me what the biggest star in the universe was. I found out; it stuck in my head and I titled the project that because it’s the biggest move I’ve made in my career.” —Olamide

Olamide has retained his reputation as the most charismatic ‘Voice of the Street’ by consistently delivering streetwise lyrics during his pop transitions. On his latest project, ‘UY Scuti’, his caribbean pop sensibilities are the highlight of the 10-track tape. It’s buttressed by some brilliant beat making—throwback carribean harmonies produced by Eskeez (Julie), undiscovered guest features—Fave (a new comer in the Nigerian music scene), and Layydoe (who infused an afro bashment vibe), and Olamide writing from his most self-assured position yet.
