Lagos, Nigeria — Nigerian rap sensation Odumodublvck has delivered one of the year’s most ambitious Afrobeats projects with the release of his new 23-track album, Industry Machine, out today via Native Records. The album, which features a vast roster of local and international talent, has sent shockwaves through the music industry for a single, unprecedented reason: it places Afrobeats heavyweights Davido and Wizkid on the same project.
The two music rivals appear on back-to-back tracks, with Davido and Seun Kuti guesting on “GROOVING” (Track 5) and Wizkid appearing on “BIG TIME” (Track 6). This marks only the second time in Nigerian rap history that the two superstars have featured on the same album, the first being on rapper Reminisce’s 2013 project, Alaga Ibile. The move has already ignited passionate debate among fans on social media, with many praising Odumodublvck for orchestrating the historic alignment.
The release follows over a year of teasing and hype from the rapper, who revealed the album’s official artwork and tracklist in late September. The cover art, a striking piece created by frequent collaborator Slawn, captures the ambitious scale of the project.
Beyond the buzz-worthy Davido and Wizkid collaborations, Industry Machine lives up to its title by featuring a powerful collection of artists from across the globe.
Listeners can expect to hear verses from UK grime stars Skepta, Stormzy, and Giggs, alongside American rapper Saweetie. A host of Nigerian legends and rising stars are also featured, including Reminisce, Phyno, Modenine, Chike, and Zlatan.
Known for blending gritty rap with infectious melodies, Odumodublvck has been one of West Africa’s most ascendant artists since his 2023 breakthrough with singles like “Declan Rice” and the album Eziokwu. With Industry Machine, the rapper continues to push boundaries and stake his claim as a formidable force in the music scene.
You can stream Industry Machine now on all major platforms.
