Music star Olamide Gbenga Adedeji aka Olamide or Olamide Baddo has dropped a banging new record titled “Rock” for the fans.
“Rock” is taken from his yet-to-be-released album titled: ‘Uy Scuti’ which drops exactly one month from the release of this new single.
WUZUPNIGERIA reports ‘Uy Scuti’, a ten-track LP, Baddo Sneh’s third new music project in just over a year, is set for release on June 14 through a partnership between his YBNL Nation imprint and US indie powerhouse, EMPIRE.
This comes barely a year after Olamide dropped his critically acclaimed “Carpe Diem,” which he released in October.
The video for “Rock” was directed by renowned Nigerian director Clarence Peters, takes viewers inside a noir vision of Lagos, starring Olamide and dancer Soliat Bada, as flirtatious lovers plotting a rendezvous.
Rising Nigerian beatmaker Eskeez, who handles the lion’s share of production on “UY Scuti”, produced the intimate, mid-tempo Afrobeats banger.
At the moment there isn’t much word about the incoming body of work.
Already, the new single has generated varied comments on social media, with Olamide trending on Twitter.
Olamide has to be arguably the most versatile artist in the nigerian music industry. no way you’ll think it’s the same person that sang Eyan mayweather also sang Rock.

me personally, I think if Olamide sang more in English he won’t be mentioned in the same sentence with Wizkid & Davido talk less Burna cause he would be way way way ahead. But regardless he is legend.👏🏿🔥🐐

Olamide has dropped another banger in Rock.
Cool beats with fresh lyrics and the beauty of hearing Olamide show his flexibility by singing and not really rapping this time.
“Them no fit wear agbada for mosquito” ..This consistency reminds us that Baddo Na Baba.
