I Want To Be Wizkid Of Rap In Nigeria – OdumoduBlvck

Nigerian rapper, OdumoduBlvck, stated that he has the ability to create core hip-hop similar to American icon Eminem but opts not to due to the perceived lack of understanding of hip-hop within the Nigerian audience.

He mentioned that Nigerians typically lean towards melodic music, prompting him to simplify his style to ensure commercial viability for his tracks.

During a recent podcast interview, OdumoduBlvck elaborated on his desire to inject excitement into Nigerian rap, drawing parallels to Wizkid’s impact on the R&B genre in the country.

He said, “Some Nigerians did pure rap but they didn’t make it exciting for people to gravitate towards it.

“People said my rap sounds like nursery school rhymes. I dumbed it down so I can sell these records, so you don’t have to think twice. When you listen to my rap, if you understand the lingo you get it once. You don’t have to go to any dictionary.

“It’s not hard core rap. It’s easy. I’ve made it exciting. Just like Wizkid, I want to make my rap sweet and exciting.

“I can rap like Eminem and all these guys but bro where I come from nobody is gonna listen to that stuff. They don’t understand it.”
