Olamide – Burukutu

Olamide has released a new solo track titled “Burukutu,” named after a local sorghum beverage.

Known for addressing street themes, from songs like “Eni Duro” to his self-titled album “Olamidé” released last year, this title suggests a conversational tone likely reflective of everyday life. The YBNL leader has a talent for transforming minor street observations into memorable hooks.

The track features a driving drum pattern accompanied by a deep bassline. The sharp percussion adds texture, creating a lively atmosphere reminiscent of a late-night gathering in Lagos.

The lyrics celebrate the struggles and small pleasures of street life while referencing the drink with a hint of humor. The song balances lightheartedness with a serious message about remaining grounded.

Olamide adopts a straightforward approach and relies on his instincts. The overall feel of the record is relaxed, yet the lyrics remain impactful.
