Collaboration isn’t just a side note in ODUMODUBLVCK’s music journey—it’s the driving force behind his sonic evolution. From the gritty, innuendo-laced tracks that emerged from Abuja to the star-studded features on his debut studio album, EZIOKWU, the rapper has consistently brought other artists into his orbit, be it through the Anti World Gangsters collective or teaming up with heavyweights like Wale.
“100 Million” marks ODUMODUBLVCK’s return since the deluxe version of his acclaimed debut album, where he enlisted African rap luminaries Black Sherif and Nasty C on standout tracks. Now, he taps into the mezmerizing vocals of Tiwa Savage, blending her melodic tones with his raps.
In this collaboration, both artists share an exchange of dope vibes and cool imagery, set against the backdrop of the Lagos nightlife. Sholz’s lush production, with its sharp synths and trap drums, adds depth to the narrative of celebrity culture and the allure of wealth—a theme intricately woven into Nigerian social dynamics.
Mixed by the skilled hands of frequent collaborator UCEE, “100 Million” boasts a glossy finish that’s become known with ODUMODUBLVCK’s signature style of embedding gritty realism within lush soundscapes.
As excitement builds for ODUMODUBLVCK’s upcoming nine-date U.S. tour alongside Shallipopi, kicking off in Minneapolis this April, fans can expect an electrifying showcase of his collaborative genius. From New York City’s Irving Plaza to Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, each stop promises to be a celebration of music, culture, and the spirit of collaboration.
