Nigerian street-hop artist Danny S has officially released his 16-track album OLABORODE, a project that industry watchers say could cement his status as one of the country’s most authentic voices of the streets.
The album, which fuses Afrobeats, street-hop, and hints of Fuji, has been hailed by fans and critics for its gritty storytelling and high-energy rhythms. Tracks like “Omo Lile” and “SDL (Shut Down Lagos)” showcase Danny S’s signature swagger, painting vivid portraits of everyday hustle and resilience.
Among its standout features is “Owo Lotto,” a collaboration with veteran singer 9ice that bridges generations of Nigerian music. Behind the scenes, producers Shockerbeatz and Booster shaped the album’s polished yet raw sound, while A&R lead Olaitan Salaudeen ensured strategic direction and promotion.
“Omo Lile,” first released as a single in late 2024, has already racked up hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify and other platforms. Its remix, featuring Balloranking and Kashcoming, adds fresh layers and vocal textures, widening its appeal without losing its street-rooted grit.
Music analysts say OLABORODE signals Danny S’s growing influence beyond Lagos’ street scene. “Danny S isn’t just dropping hits — he’s shaping a culture,” one entertainment blogger noted, adding that the project’s energy and honesty resonate with fans who see their own struggles and triumphs reflected in his lyrics.
With OLABORODE, Danny S appears poised to expand his reach while staying true to the grassroots sound that made him a street-hop mainstay. The album is now streaming across all major platforms.
