With “Omo Baba Olowo,” Davido doesn’t tiptoe in; he bursts onto the scene. He calls it “Son of a Rich Man” in Yoruba, which pretty much sets the stage. Yes, he grew up with money, but he’s not hiding from it. Instead, he’s out to prove he can make his own mark in Nigerian pop.
The album rolls through 17 tracks, mixing Afrobeats with hip-hop, and he brings in heavy hitters like Shizzi, Maleek Berry, and Genesis to shape the sound. It’s packed with guest spots; Naeto C, Ice Prince, 2Face Idibia, and a bunch more.
Tracks like “Back When” and “Dami Duro” nail down his style. There’s this bright, party energy running through everything, straight out of Lagos.
