On adedamola, Fireboy returns to dazzling form – Michael Kolawole

One remarkable attribute of Fireboy is his ability to blend sublime lyrics with the mundane (Lamba).

Olamide’s Ikigai: From Bariga to the Metaverse – Michael Kolawole     

Like his mentor Jay Z, who announced his retirement in 2003 but made a comeback with Kingdom Comes in 2006, Olamide isn’t ready to retire yet. The ability to make music that excites is a gift and it’s hard to shut it off. Maybe this EP marks the start of an exciting new chapter for him and a teaser for his highly-anticipated full-return album.
