When Olamide speaks, the streets listen. But with “99,” the legendary hit-maker isn’t just saying—he’s orchestrating a generational moment
The YBNL boss has unleashed a track that’s already being hailed as a landmark in modern Nigerian music. Featuring chart blazers Asake, Seyi Vibez, Young Jonn, and Daecolm, “99” is more than just a single—it’s a musical summit, a convergence of talent, tradition, and trend.
The Collaboration We Didn’t Know We Needed
It’s the first time that Asake and Seyi Vibez share a track—two titans of today’s street-pop scene, finally on the same beat. Add in the polished charm of Young Jonn and Daecolm’s global flair, and you get a blend that’s both unexpected and electric.
Olamide isn’t just curating voices—he’s engineering impact. The song pulses with energy, carried by Yung Willis’ masterful production that stitches Fuji drums, R&B textures, and Afrobeats grooves into an irresistible rhythm.
Quick Climb, Massive Buzz
Within 24 hours of its release on June 9, “99” cracked Nigeria’s Top 5 on Apple Music, debuting at No. 5 and rising. The track is surging across playlists in Lagos, London, and Lisbon, showing Olamide’s continued global reach and local dominance.
Critics are calling it:
“A blueprint for future Afrobeats crossovers” — Tooxclusive
“A cultural handshake between generations” — Mp3bullet.ng
Lights, Camera, Lagos
The music video? Pure Afroluxe. A visual diary of fame, friendship, and fire, blending studio shots, smoky club scenes, and backstage chaos. Fans are especially hyped about Asake’s appearance—hinting at possible joint performances during Olamide’s upcoming summer tour.
Setting the Stage for Something Bigger
“99” is track 11 on Olamide’s much-anticipated self-titled album, due mid-June. If this single is the preview, the album promises to be a masterclass in collaboration, with Olamide once again proving why he’s the kingmaker of Nigerian music.
From launching Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold to igniting Fireboy DML and now aligning heavyweights like Asake and Seyi Vibez, Baddo isn’t just making hits—he’s building legacies.
