The Coded Tunes brand has been associated with the likes of 9ice, ID Cabasa and 2phat. If you argue that they represent the older generation of Nigerian entertainers, then Olamide is the exception.
He brings that fresh perspective to music that only youth can inspire. His bilingual punchlines may be a bit hard to follow seeing as half of it is in Yoruba, but he makes up for it with flow and rhyme. We’ve heard him previously on Naija We Hail along with Zara and Adol; as well as on his tribute to Dagrin.
We dubbed Eni Duro, a fun listen when we first featured it in September. Add to that the experience that veteran music video director, DJ Tee brings to table and you have a decent debut video. The grimey (“hood”) feel rocked in the video is a difficult one to pull off but DJ Tee does it just fine.
Enough talk, Let the music play.
Forgive the unnecessary comparisons here (if you will) but something about the rapper or the video (not sure which) is reminiscent of J. Cole in Who Dat?

lill wayne wanna be… pls
Let us see u “non lil wayne wanna be”.. Leave that boy alone. He is good…
very wack…sorry
Legit video. Great job by DJ Tee. The video definitely did the song justice. Great stuff Olamide.
the dagrin tribute video was so painful to watch!
God rest his soul,amen.
Is it just me, or does he sort of look like Fela a lil bit? Song aint all that but I like video. I liked his energy and all the change of clothes…lol

@kk and gift am sure you guys are not talented, if u have a bit of it oyu wont be beefing a young dynamic guy coming up like olamide, dj tee tight video and as usually cabasa did justice to the song, no chorus p all thru and it still makes loads of sense. most of u guys ve left naija a long time so u dont understand the language again, go learn d language and find out how many mad punch lines dis dude dropped
his autotuning is too much…kilode……he sounds like he trying to sound like Lil Wayne.(he actually doesnt sound like Lil Wayne)….Auto tune is gud oh, bt it is not 4 everyone habba…And JibolaL why is the video picture quality bad…Couldnt you find one that wont hurt persons eyes
nice song and video……..
Autotune??? lol seems like wer listening to different songs. Olamide is sick man big ups to him wow @moi all u did is complain, try appricaiting yh
Trust me, I can differentiate when some1 has a talent or not…d day i heard the song b4 d video came, I knew he has come to stay in the music industry 4 long..I now get my fiance to listen to it..he loves him,,,but more job could have been done on the video..all in all, welldone Olamide, Codedtunes, and Toni Payne concepts; i dey say welldont to all of una, no be ur money u go collect? lol
Nice video, nice song.
Nice tribute song- particularly becos it’s Dagrin’s style!
