Nigerian music enjoyed a great year in 2023 with the rise of stars Odumodublvck and Shallipopi, who quickly became well-known.
Odumodublvck and Shallipopi, two of Nigeria’s hottest artists, are about to go on an unprecedented combined Afrobeats tour.
The rappers, cashing in on their rockstar status, will be performing together on a joint tour that begins on April 27 in Minneapolis’s Uptown Theater and will travel to nine different American cities. Before concluding in Dallas at House of Blues on May 27, the duo will make stops in Houston, Dallas, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and more.
This tour is a first for Nigerian music, organized by Live Nation in collaboration with the labels of both acts.
Odumodublvck has been spearheading the commercial revival of Nigerian hip-hop ever since he entered the mainstream. Street hop in Nigeria has gained vibrancy and diversity from Shallipopi’s music, which draws inspiration from his Bini origin.
‘Cast’ from Shallipopi’s debut album ‘Presido La Pluto’ was a collaborative effort between the two artists in 2023. Even though social media users had differing thoughts on Odumodublvck’s verse, the single managed to reach the top of TurnTable Top 100.
Both musicians are poised to make history by captivating audiences with their thrilling music, and their impending combined tour is another high point in their careers.
