Omah Lay drops breezy ‘WHAT Have We Done’ EP

Breakout Nigerian artist Omah Lay releases his breezy new EP What Have We Done. It’s a vibrant collection, showcasing the rising luminary’s cool, dynamic sound with soaring hooks, Afrobeat rhythms, and slick flexes. One of the country’s most talked about talents, Omah Lay strolls through What Have We Done’s silky bangers withconfidence and starpower. The EP is smooth and easygoing, yet filled with a variety of textures. Omah Lay was anointed BET’s “Amplified International Artist of the Month” and has received support from the likes of Saweetie and Swizz Beats.

This new EP positions Omah Lay, who has garnered over 162.3 million streams, in the vanguard of international music, but he’s been grinding all year to make that a reality. In early November, he dropped the simmering song “Damn” with 6LACK, which shows up as the final track on What Have We Done. It landed in eight Apple Music playlists, including R&B flagship playlist R&B Now (cover) and African flagship playlist Africa Now. It also garnered support on seven Spotify playlists, including New Music Friday, African Heat (Spotify’s flagship African playlist), We Everywhere, and Signed XOXO. A solo version of that song appeared on the summer EP Get Layd, which also features popular singles like “Bad Influence” and “Lo Lo.” Between that EP and his new one, an image of Omah Lay starts to form—that of a star, defined by his hometown of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, yet determined to share himself with the whole world.

The Architect of the New Wave: Kblacktheblack’s Rise and Sonic Evolution In the rapidly expanding universe of Nigerian music, Iborn Ogbuluijah Kenneth Nsan is carving out a distinct lane for himself. Known professionally as Kblacktheblack—or simply SBB to his growing fanbase—he represents the new vanguard of hip-hop artists who are reshaping the sonic landscape of the continent. He is not merely a rapper; he is a curator of culture, blending the rhythmic heartbeat of his city with a contemporary vision that aims to influence African pop culture through music, fashion, and creative direction. His goal is ambitious yet clear: to leave a lasting impact on the cultural landscape and shape the narrative for the next generation of creatives. At the core of Kblacktheblack’s artistry lies a firm commitment to three values: respect, authenticity, and creativity. His discography, which already boasts two EPs and a slew of charting singles, serves as a mirror to society. He specializes in weaving infectious rhythms with lyrics that cut deep into personal experiences and the daily societal bustle. This dedication to his craft has earned him recognition on DSP charts and placements on international editorial playlists, proving that his sound resonates far beyond his immediate community. What truly sets him apart, however, is the holistic "SBB experience." He is celebrated for an electrifying stage presence that transforms every performance into a memorable event, coupled with a penchant for out-of-the-box lyricism and innovative production that consistently defies standard genre constraints. This versatility is currently on full display through his two latest releases, which highlight the duality of his sound. His newest anthem, "Hustler," featuring Hollerdotun, captures the gritty essence of ambition. The track serves as a soundtrack for the relentless go-getters, a theme visually underscored by its striking cover art featuring a stack of cash balanced precariously on the head—a metaphor for the heavy lifting required in the pursuit of success. It is a raw, energetic offering that speaks directly to the reality of the street hustle and the determination required to thrive. On the other end of the spectrum is the double-release "Impatient/Garage Refix," which dropped on November 20th. Including the tracks "Impatient" and "Impatient II," this project showcases a more introspective and experimental side of the artist. The visual direction suggests a moody, emotive narrative, while the "Garage Refix" inclusion hints at a fusion of his signature flow with fast-paced, electronic-influenced percussion. By seamlessly navigating between the hard-hitting bars of "Hustler" and the experimental textures of "Impatient," Kblacktheblack proves he is a musical shapeshifter, positioning himself as a pivotal figure who is not just participating in the culture, but actively defining its future.
