Afropop is currently expanding at a beautiful pace, aided by producers and musicians, it has become a very malleable sound that can be easily molded with conventions from other genres.
This sonic compatibility is demonstrated once again in DJ Sholz featuring Odumodublvck’s Firewood. Led by Sholz, the release of his standout single gives the sparkling EP, Breakfast In Lagos a rich coloring of sounds and artists on the record. Just as Sholz on the project embodied its creative vision, so too do the featured artists across the EP.

Cut from an energetic soundscape, Firewood opens with the floating beauty of Sholz’s vocals. The production merges a heart-grabbing beat with Odumodublvck’s vocals, evidence of all the loops involved in lifting a shared friendship, and the expertly layered sound is also present.
It’s possible that many listeners would leave with Odumodublvck’s destroying verse echoing in their heads.
Firewood reins in strong opinions on the most talked-about problems in our modern society by shedding light on lifestyle shortcomings and the lack of romantic partnerships in Nigeria’s dating pool.
