(UY SCUTI Album ) If any artiste in the Afrobeats industry right now deserves a 10-Year Anniversary celebration, with a mind-blowing 10 albums in 10 years record, it’s most definitely Olamide Baddo.
On The 18th of June 2021, Olamide Released A New Album titled “UY Scuti” | The Review! Olamide Adedeji has indeed been in the studio the last few months, dedicating all of himself to the crazed passion that made us all fall in love with him in 2010.
Damn! It’s been a decade of immense fan love and streets music for this Afrobeats pioneer. Despite being one of the least recognized crossover artistes in the country, Olamide has consistently churned out albums, eps, and major singles spread across ten years. His work rate is so ‘N’golo Kante’ and he’s definitely Africa’s emerging Kanye.
Olamide’s dedication to honing his sound in this album is glaring, it’s a welcome improvement, a sign that CARPE DIEM was indeed the start of a new dawn and a sign that the trajectory has changed from the ‘former local rapper’.
After ten years, at a period when some of the best of his colleagues are hanging their boots and looking into other interests; Olamide drops the atomic bomb that is UY SCUTI on us, a definite billboard charts climber (I PREDICTED IT HERE FIRST).
This is not Baddo’s first rodeo with slow music, some of his massive love tunes over the years have followed similar patterns, but the difference is clear. This is a mature man who’s clearly mastered the art of serenading and he’s going hard in this one. Little wonder the album raked almost 10 million views in less than 30 minutes on Audiomack alone.
‘”UY SCUTI” Album by Olamide – The Review NEED FOR SPEED is a definite tone setter for the album.
“Hustle gat me high, steady grinding for the dough, destination farther mean more flying I know, … tryna chase my dreams Lagos traffic make it slow” Olamide’s deep baritone slowly unveils the album with a assertion that every Nigerian youth today can relate too, especially if you live in Lagos.
The narrative on this joint is the hustle and grind of being a Lagosian, and you can hear Fireboy’s delicious vocals lending beauty to his boss’s sweet intro jam. JAILER is a carribean-infused Jamaican joint that sees Olamide putting together a masterpiece alongside Jaywilz.
It’s another sweet love jam, and Jaywillz definitely gave you Oxlade vibes on first listen. Olamide clearly loves calypso as his lead single off the album ROCK which is the third song on the album gives you total goosebumps vibes. Baddo’s music making process is now more predisposed to Vibes on Lock & Sonically-pleasing lyrical compositions.
The title of the next song on the album JULIE makes you worry on first sight. Baddo don softie?
