EASY WITH ME is a sonic experiment that shouldn’t work on paper but succeeds brilliantly in execution. Curated by DJ Tunez, the track brings together the ethereal, smooth-as-silk vocals of Wizkid and the aggressive, grime-influenced flow of ODUMODUBLVCK. It is a clash of two worlds: the Ojuelegba melody king and the Abuja drill warlord. DJ Tunez, acting as the referee and architect, creates a sound that accommodates both styles without compromising either.
The production is a hybrid, blending the log-drum basslines of Amapiano with a darker, grittier edge suited for Odumodu. Wizkid opens the track, setting a hypnotic, trance-like mood. He is in his “Starboy” element, laid back, almost whispering, floating over the beat with an arrogant ease. He creates a pocket of calm that lures the listener in. Then, the energy shifts. ODUMODUBLVCK enters not with a melody, but with a sledgehammer. His verse is punchy, loud, and filled with his signature “Declan Rice” aggression.
The contrast is the hook. The friction between Wizkid’s “easy” approach and Odumodu’s “hard” delivery creates a dynamic tension that keeps the listener engaged. It’s a conversation between the smooth operator and the enforcer. DJ Tunez manages the transitions perfectly, ensuring the track doesn’t feel disjointed. He creates a bridge where the two energies meet, resulting in a song that can work in a VIP lounge or a mosh pit.
EASY WITH ME is also a testament to Wizkid’s continued evolution as a collaborator. By co-signing Odumodu on a track like this, he bridges the gap between his global pop status and the gritty street-hop movement currently dominating Nigeria. It’s a strategic and artistic power move. For ODUMODUBLVCK, it’s another feather in the cap, proving he can stand toe-to-toe with the biggest artist on the continent without diluting his unique style.
This single is destined to be a DJ favourite. It has the recognizable vocals for the radio and the heavy drop for the club. EASY WITH ME is a chaotic, beautiful mess of styles that captures the current diversity of the Nigerian music scene. It is bold, loud, and utterly addictive.
