Nigerian rap phenomenon ODUMODUBLVCK has unleashed his explosive 16-track mixtape THE MACHINE IS COMING, delivering a masterclass in genre-blending artistry just days before his highly anticipated performance at The Headies. The surprise release arrives as the rapper (born Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu) dominates this year’s awards with eight nominations, cementing his status as one of Nigeria’s most vital hip-hop voices.
Packed with his signature Okporoko Rhythms – a combustible mix of highlife melodies, drill, and grime – the mixtape showcases ODUMODUBLVCK’s razor-sharp lyricism across 41 minutes of musical innovation. From the hard-hitting street anthem Wage War to the introspective Pity This Boy (featuring Victony), the project refuses to be boxed in, fluidly navigating Afro-fusion, hip-hop and beyond.
The star-studded tracklist reads like a who’s-who of contemporary African music, with Shallipopi, BOJ, Falz, Vector and Italian rapper Rondodasosa among the collaborators. Earlier viral tracks like Juju (with Smur Lee and Shallipopi) and the Ramadan Remix (featuring Tolibian and BOJ) find their natural home here, while new bangers like Kylian prove ODUMODUBLVCK needs no features to command attention.
More than just a mixtape, this serves as the perfect appetizer for his forthcoming album INDUSTRY MACHINE, teasing the raw energy and boundary-pushing creativity that have become his trademarks. As ODUMODUBLVCK prepares to storm The Headies stage, THE MACHINE IS COMING makes one thing clear: Nigerian hip-hop’s future is in relentless motion.
