Released in December 2016, Olamide’s sixth studio album, The Glory, is an introspective and mature reflection on his journey from the streets of Bariga to the peak of Nigerian music stardom. This project balances Olamide’s signature street-hop swagger with moments of deep gratitude and vulnerability.
The album opens with the title track “The Glory Intro,” where Olamide humbly attributes all his success to a higher power, setting an authentic and soulful tone. Throughout the 16 tracks, he touches on themes of fatherhood (“Letter To Milli”), resilience (“Journey Of A Thousand Miles”), and staying grounded amidst fame (“Oluwa Loni Glory”). “Omo Wobe Anthem” featuring Burna Boy and the viral “Who You Epp” refix with Wande Coal and Phyno provided commercial hits. “The Glory”, produced primarily by the consistent Pheelz, is a mandatory listen for understanding the man behind the persona.
