Is Jaido Ps Survive Olamides Best Performance Since Carpe Diem?
Olamides career trajectory has changed a lot since the beginning of 2020. First he gave us one of the best hip-hop EPs weve ever heard, 999 in February of 2020, just before the global pandemic and the beginning of a completely new era  for him and for the industry. What followed was the best year in Nigerian music, and in the history of Afrobeats. The year everyone will remember as the year everything happened. Olamide was a big part of that history. Its crazy because Olamide has always been part of that Wizkid and Davido conversation, even as a rapper. No other rapper even came close to those two guys, its practically impossible. But Olamide has always been different. Carpe Diem  Summer 2020, when he released Carpe Diem, it was clear what Olamide was going to become after that. Carpe Diem wasnt only his best album yet, it undoubtedly was a perfect Olamide show. It might even be impossible for him to ever top that. Thats how good the album is! But at some point hes gonna move on, for sure. And thats what hes done. He went into the booth and created a whole new album, a new kind of Olamide who we got a glimpse of on Carpe Diem. UY Scuti  He called the album UY Scuti and did all sorts of amazing things on it, but still nothing close to what he did on the previous album. The desperation for pop appeal is evident on the things hes been doing ever since, and has even brought about criticism of what the OG is doing. A week after he dropped UY Scuti though, he was on two songs as a guest. One with Reminisce from Reminisces forthcoming album, and another with Jaido P, who hes previously collaborated with on Tesina Pot.  Survive  On the new song with Jaido P, called Survive, Olamide flexed his solemn vocals once again. He took the hook, and the blend with the beat could just be the best thing weve heard from Olamide in a long time. Jaido P was very cool too. Olamide influence, definitely. Survive has vibes that no one can really get tired of. You could play it one hundred times a day, and still itll cool your head every single time you hear it. The thing is Baddo keeps trying. He does not stop. Its only a matter of time before he gets better better songs. But for now, Survive sounds like the best thing hes done since he released Carpe Diem last year. Rock was a solid record too, though. Drop a comment. Click to see more posts about  jaido p Olamide  You Might Also Like
