In the realm of the new generation of musical talents, one name stands out—Ikuforiji Abdulrahman Olaitan, professionally known as Oxlade. What sets Oxlade apart is not just his musical prowess but the authenticity that permeates through his work. When you dive into the world of this afro-pop star, you find yourself captivated, unable to hit pause. Oxlade’s confidence is grounded in his genuine approach to music, and it’s this authenticity that draws people to his artistry. Speaking from his studio in Lagos, Oxlade reflects, “My genuineness got me this far. In this toxic world, you need to be genuine to go far. Talent fails people, character fails. If you want to win, you have to be genuine.” It’s a philosophy that has propelled him into the spotlight, making him a fan favorite in a remarkably short span. The sincerity that defines Oxlade extends beyond his music and seeps into his daily life. His belief in the power of authenticity is a guiding force, shaping not only his career but also his interactions and choices. One of Oxlade’s recent offerings, “INTOXYCATED,” features a collaboration with British rap royalty, Dave. This ascendant Nigerian singer has been making waves since his COLORS performance of the infectious ballad “Ku Lo Sa” last summer. Since then, Oxlade has consistently released strong singles, steadily climbing the ladder of success. “INTOXYCATED” takes Oxlade’s musical journey to new heights, with Dave’s formidable presence adding a layer of star power. The synergy between Oxlade’s melismatic tenor crooning and Dave’s deep, resonant bars is undeniable. The track is a testament to the seamless fusion of their styles, complemented by the smooth, speaker-knocking production from Deeyasso, Spax, and The Kazes. As Oxlade continues to rise, “INTOXYCATED” positions itself as a potential chart-topper. The track’s allure is heightened amid what is deemed the steamiest summer on record. Oxlade’s authenticity, coupled with the magnetic pull of his music, ensures that his journey in the music industry is one to watch. In a world where genuine artistry shines, Oxlade stands as a beacon of talent, character, and the unwavering belief that authenticity is the key to triumph.
