Ololade Asake - EP

Throughout his debut EP, the eponymous Ololade Asake, the newbie incorporates Yoruba gospel and fuji influences on bouncy beats to ruminate on his unfolding journey and show divine appreciation—no surprises there, for an act with a name steeped in oriki (Yoruba praise poetry). Because Afrobeats is inherently spiritual and the YBNL label remains one of its exalted cathedrals, Asake turns worship leader on “Trabaye”; the soulful record features a brief interlude from label chief Olamide, who delivers a homily introducing his mentee to the world—and the ladies.
