Olamide - Ikigai, Vol. 1 - Silver In Black Ice

Olamide returns with Ikigai, Vol. 1, a vibrant 7-track EP pressed on striking Silver in Black Ice color-in-color vinyl and cut at 45 RPM for premium sound quality. Limited to just 500 copies in this first pressing, the release marks a new phase in the Nigerian icon’s journey, following his 2023 full-length Unruly. Titled after the Japanese philosophy for "a reason to live," this project channels Olamide's passion for creativity, freedom, and joy through rhythmic Afrobeat textures and introspective yet playful lyricism.

Featuring standout tracks like “Metaverse,” “Hello Habibi,” and “Uptown Disco” (with Fireboy DML and Asake), Ikigai, Vol. 1 balances energetic beats with thoughtful storytelling. As the founder of YBNL and a cornerstone of modern Afrobeats, Olamide continues to expand his artistic legacy. This collector’s edition is a must-have for fans of global hip-hop, African music, and vinyl rarities—celebrating a legend embracing life, rhythm, and purpose.
