1. First of All (2012)
This was one of the songs that made Olamide a household name. Just like Jay-Z’s early hustle tracks, First of All captured the streets and introduced Olamide as a voice for everyday Nigerians.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!2. Wo!! (2017)
Arguably Olamide’s biggest street anthem. The song had the same cultural impact in Nigeria that Jay-Z’s Hard Knock Life had in the U.S. It went beyond music — it became a movement, with people dancing to it everywhere.
3. Melo Melo (2015)
While Olamide is known for rap, Melo Melo showed his versatility. Like Jay-Z, who could shift from street rap to love songs, Olamide proved he could connect with fans on a softer, emotional level.
4. Eleda Mi (2013)
This track was Olamide at his reflective best. The lyrical depth and motivational tone mirror Jay-Z’s storytelling style, where he inspires listeners while still speaking from the streets.
5. Loading ft. Bad Boy Timz (2020)
A modern Afrobeats banger that shows Olamide’s ability to evolve with time — just like Jay-Z did with different eras of hip-hop. The song mixes rap with trendy sounds, proving his relevance after more than a decade in the game.

6. Voice of the Street (2012)
This song defined Olamide’s identity. It was his declaration that he represents the streets — much like Jay-Z calling himself the voice of Brooklyn in his early career.
7. Infinity ft. Omah Lay (2020)
A collaboration that shows Olamide’s ability to blend old-school rap credibility with new-school Afrobeats vibes. Jay-Z also mastered this balance, working with younger stars while maintaining respect.
Why these songs matter
