Burgeoning Nigerian singer and rapper, Odumodublvck known in real life as Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, has finally released his much-anticipated mixtape, Eziokwu, and his fans are on cloud nine after listening to it.
The 14-tracklist project has been in the works for some time with many waiting with bated breath for the mixtape to be released and rightly so, fans have already indicated that the wait was worth it.
The recent work of the 2023 Headies Award winner for Best Rap Single is a testament to his growing dominance in the music scene. He masterfully mixes Afrobeats, RnB, and his own uniquely-created rhythm which he calls “Okporoko”.
Eziokwu, which translates into “Truth” from the native Nigerian language Igbo, has already won the hearts of cult followers of the musician who have praised his lyrical dexterity.
The Declan Rice crooner was determined to deliver a masterpiece and he employed the services of a host of artistes who featured on the songs. Bella Shmurda, TeeZee, Fireboy DML, and Amaarae are a few of the stars on the project.
