Mavin Records rapper LADIPOE has dropped his latest single, Folasade, and it’s fire. Known for his razor-sharp lyricism and genre-blending prowess, LADIPOE delivers a poetic ode and a vibey tune, cementing his status as Nigeria’s “Leader of the Revival.”
Folasade is a seamless fusion of LADIPOE’s signature introspective rap and mellow Afrobeats melodies, showcasing his ability to craft emotionally resonant stories. The song, presumably named after a muse, dives into themes of love, longing, and vulnerability, with Poe’s witty “Lifelines” weaving heartfelt bars into a smooth, head-nodding groove. The accompanying lyric video, shared by LADIPOE himself, caters to his “chop mouth crew,” ensuring every bar lands with impact.
Following his 2024 releases like Compose with taves and Hallelujah with Rozzz and Morello, Folasade marks another chapter in LADIPOE’s versatile evolution. His earlier hits, like 2021’s Feeling with BNXN, which racked up over 80 million streams, set a high bar, but Folasade holds its own with its intimate storytelling and polished production. As the first rapper signed to Mavin Records in 2017, LADIPOE continues to redefine Nigerian hip-hop, blending it with Afropop appeal.
Stream Folasade now on all platforms and catch LADIPOE’s lyrical magic in full bloom. Listen here.
