'The Glory' is Olamide's 6th album. On this edition of Music 360,  Ayomide Tayp does an in-depth review of the album. http://bit.ly/2jX4hGv

Producers who worked on Olamide's 'The Glory' album are 2kriss, Pheelz, Young John, Sossick, Paul Clever Lee, Major Bangz.

Olamide's 'The Glory' album was released under his record Label, YBNL in 2016. 'The Glory' Album is 53 minutes long. 

Olamide is arguably the foremost creative Hip-hop innovator of our times and very generous with his art, yet he’s remained, enigmatic, then at least opaque, withholding some, creating more and still keeping fans ready to receive from his YBNL fountain, which has become shrouded and further successful with Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold.

'The Glory' album is another reveal from Olamide. Adorned with a ‘street’ shot, scarf concealing eyes, hands clasped in a very familiar manner, and accompanied by a video that showed him taking back his throne from pretenders. 

'The Glory' album is the ‘Street Tape’, a crucial embrace to his dynamic roots which still forms the bedrock of his support, and continues to buoy him, both as a source of inspiration, and an endless validation of his credentials as a rapper.

That is why his 6 solo studio album is a high-five to the streets, honest and exposed. So what do we learn from it, first that Olamide is still at his best lyrically, despite his recent embrace of Nigerian pop sounds, he is still capable of combining all influences to create sublime rap tracks.

Young John and Pheelz and a select few, continue what has been an amazing streak for the production of the artiste. 

They bring Olamide forward to ride the waves that made 2016 a dope year in Hip-hop worldwide. 

There’s the familiar Trap making a solid stand on ‘Underground’ and ‘Oluwa lo ni Glory’, its mainstream 808s diversifying the local sound.  

The relaxed and intimate ‘Be mine’ is a rare invasion of ‘un-hood’ romance by Olamide, and he wins at it with Pheelz supplying the percussion and adlibs to bring it home.

These aside, you are left with the ever-present singles ‘Omo Wobe’, ‘Who you epp’, and ‘Owo Blow’, who carry the rapper into the clubs and hood celebrations.

It’s been a phenomenal run for Olamide in Nigeria; six solo albums in six years is the stuff of legends. 

And while “The Glory” is a fitting addition to that dedication to full-length projects, it is far from a being a classic project. 

That lack of a classic street album from Olamide is still his only flaw in a blistering career of many wins and countless highs. That flaw remains
