Grammy-nominated Nigerian rap icon and YBNL founder, Olamide Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide, has officially unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming self-titled album Olamidé. The 17-track body of work is set to drop on Thursday, June 19, 2025.
The album features a star-studded lineup of both Nigerian and international acts, further highlighting Olamide’s influence across global music circles. Nigerian heavyweights Wizkid, Asake, Seyi Vibez, Young Jonn, BOJ, and Darkoo all appear on the album, alongside global icons like American rap legend Dr Dre, Jamaican star Popcaan, British-Nigerian singer Daecolm, and DJ SPINALL.
Sharing the update on Instagram, Olamide wrote:
“Big thanks to every beautiful soul that made this possible!!! #OLAMIDÉ Out 19th of June. Wabillahi Taofeek.”
He also posted the album art and full tracklist.
Fans will recognize some previously released tracks, including Kai and 99. Kai, which dropped on April 29, 2025, marked Olamide’s reunion with Wizkid—their first joint effort since 2011’s Omo To Shan. Notably, Wizkid features twice on the album, showing their long-running synergy.
Just days ago, Olamide thrilled fans with the release of 99, featuring Asake, Seyi Vibez, Young Jonn, and Daecolm. The track, produced by Willis, offers a vibrant taste of what’s to come.
Interestingly, Asake’s inclusion on 99 has stirred buzz, given speculations of a fallout with Olamide after launching his label Giran Republic in February 2025. His appearance suggests the two have maintained a working relationship despite industry chatter.
Other tracks on the album include Billionaires Club, Free, Indika, Stronger, and Rain. Rising acts Muyeez and FXRTUNE also contribute to the project.
Olamidé marks Olamide’s 11th solo studio album, following his 2023 project Ikigai, which featured tracks like Metaverse, Hello Habibi, and Uptown Disco with Fireboy and Asake. His previous works include UY Scuti, Carpe Diem, and the joint EP Unruly.
With over a decade in the game, Olamide remains a powerhouse in Nigerian music, credited with launching careers of top artists like Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, Fireboy DML, and Asake through his YBNL label.
