Olamide’s 2020 project, the “999” EP, is a nine-track showcase of his versatility and return to his rap roots, following a shift towards Afrobeats in earlier years. The EP features a mix of established and upcoming artists, including JayBoi, Jackmillz, Sosa-E, Cheque, and Rhatti.
The EP opens with “No Time” and moves through diverse themes. Tracks like “Wonma!” offer typical high-energy, carefree vibes, while others such as “Rich & Famous” and the collaboration with Jackmillz, “Demons,” adopt a more introspective tone, touching on the pressures of success and internal conflicts. The project delves into serious topics like the dangerous pursuit of wealth with “Dance with the Devil,” featuring Sosa-E and Jackmillz. “Prophesy” asserts Olamide’s dominance, and “Mojo” with JayBoi discusses themes of attraction. The EP is a cohesive body of work highlighting Olamide’s lyrical prowess and the talents of his featured artists.
