ODUMODUBLVCK - COMMEND. An exclusive performance for Vevo DSCVR, the channel for the best in new music. ODUMODUBLVCK’s music is both a testament to individuality and a deep connection with his cultural roots. Born in Nigeria as Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, the man called Big Kala has steadily risen in the country’s increasingly important music scene. His regal blend of traditional Afrobeat with contemporary hip-hop will imbue any listener with swagger. Turn up the volume on last year’s ‘EZIOKWU’ album, and you’ll be strutting around the room in no time. That project, the latest in a string of albums that the prolific MC has released in a little more than half a decade, is his best-performing title, boasting more than 100 million Spotify streams. On the buoyant sprint “KUBOLOUR,” he splits duties with Amaarae, another stylistically unique artist who’s been killing it lately in the experimental side of Afropop. Album opener “COMMEND” is a nice intro to our DSCVR man. It’s got lounge horns and a drill bass that appeal across audiences, but his dynamic vocals are the real revelation. If you’re looking for more info on our man, check out our Introducing interview. He told us he puts so much into performing that he usually “can’t remember” being on stage, and has to watch clips afterwards. He’s going to like what he sees on this one.
