“Providence” is a six-track EP by Nigerian rapper Ladipoe, released under Mavin Records in 2021. The project contains hip-hop with contemporary Afrobeats and R&B sounds, showcasing Ladipoe’s lyrical dexterity (which he calls “lifelines”). “Providence” reflects Ladipoe’s significant growth in status following his breakout hit “Feeling” and focuses on self-reflection, ambition, and divine guidance.
It features high-profile collaborations with Nigerian stars Rema on the fiery “Afro Jigga” and Fireboy DML on the introspective “Running,” as well as Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae on “Love Essential”. Produced by a team including London, Ozedikus, and Andre Vibez, the EP is lauded for its coherent sound, diverse features, and its role as a “victory lap” that solidifies Ladipoe’s reputation as a top African rapper.
