On “LEGOLAS,” Nigerian rapper and singer ODUMODUBLVCK grapples with keeping his father’s legacy alive—and the mantle of responsibility he inherited. “‘LEGOLAS’ means everything to me,” ODUMODUBLVCK tells Apple Music. “I lost my dad in 2021, and since then I’ve literally been doing everything he had been doing. If you go through my hood, my dad was helping with school fees of 20 people—now I’m doing school fees for 30 people. People are even begging me, ‘Yo, save your money, save your money. You’re helping too many people.’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m not going to listen to you guys. I’m going to go with my guys. We’re going to go to the top together.’ I’ve defied those odds. I’m still with my guys and my momentum has not stopped.” Hear “LEGOLAS” on Africa Now, the playlist that brings together the sounds of the continent, from hip-hop, highlife, Afrobeats, and alté to house, Afrobongo, and kuduro—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
