Nigerian rapper LADIPOE releases his highly anticipated 6-track EP, Providence, via Mavin Records & Platoon. Adding to his excellent catalogue, Providence sets a new precedent reflecting his growth with guest appearances from the likes of Fireboy DML, Amaarae, and Rema.
Following the release of his breakout single ‘Feeling’ alongside Buju, the Nigerian rapper’s international growth has skyrocketed. 80M streams later, Ladipoe is owning the ‘song of the summer’ in Nigeria and beyond. His unconventional approach to rap has paid dividends leading to his recent BET Awards Nomination for Best International Flow.
The carefully curated 6-track project captures moments of growth, introspectiveness, love and life,
beginning with the reflective LOTR II, an abbreviation of his nickname ‘Leader of the Revival’. On the
project, Ladipoe worked with signature producer Andre Vibez (Ayra Starr, Omah Lay) contributing to
the pioneering Nigerian Afro-fusion sound on ‘Running’ featuring Fireboy DML. Further exploring
elements of his sonic palette, Ladipoe provides fiery anthem ‘Afro Jigga’ with a guest appearance from
Rema before joining forces with the future of Afro-pop Amaarae for heavenly ‘Love Essential’. Ladipoe makes himself an open book for the finale on self-titled ‘Providence’ delivering an extended versepacked with self-reflection. Throughout the EP he also worked with producers such as Guilty Beatz (Beyonce, Ms Banks), Ozedikus, Emit Fenn, London, Ikon and Johnson ip.
