Rapper Odumodublvck, born Tochukwu Ojogwu has addressed critics and celebrated his contributions to hip-hop.
In a recent interview, he hammered the impact of his work and dismissed doubts about his lyrical ability.
Odumodublvck pointed to his 2023 mixtape Eziokwu as a benchmark, highlighting its string of successful tracks like “Woto-woto Seasoning,” “Blood on the Dance Floor,” and “Dog Eat Dog.”
He argued that no other hip-hop project in Nigeria’s music history has produced as many chart-topping singles, positioning Eziokwu as a defining work in the genre.
Odumodublvck also discussed his newly released sophomore album, Industry Machine, which dropped on October 6.
The 23-track project features collaborations with major artists like Davido, Wizkid, Stormzy, Pa Salieu, Falz, Boj, Victony, Vector, and Ajebo Hustlers.
He noted that tracks such as “Juju” and “Pity This Boy” have already reached number one.
Responding to skepticism about his rapping skills, Odumodublvck strongly challenged the narrative that he lacks lyrical depth.
He emphasised his consistent output, from Eziokwu to Industry Machine, as evidence of his growth and dedication to hip-hop.
The rapper also addressed broader discussions about the state of the genre in Nigeria, asserting his commitment to pushing its boundaries.
He said: “They were talking about hip-hop legacy, talking about discography. Make we rise that discography talk now.
“We came up with Eziokwu, ‘The Machine Is Coming’. Eziokwu wey be mixtape, we know what will happen for Eziokwu. Woto-woto seasoning, hit record, Blood on the dance floor, hit record, ‘Dog eat Dog’, hit record.
“There is no hip-hop album in the history of Nigerian music that has as many hit records as Eziokwu. I put my money on the line. Now, we are carry and go, the machine is coming.
“Album wey be say we surprise people. Juju were number one. Pity This Boy were number one. What are you telling me? Now, we are here at the industry machine.
“Back to back to back. Who is talking about discography? Try to keep your mind in talking about real rap. Nigga, who the f3ck is really rapping, nigga? Who the f3ck is really rapping? Who’s here, niggas? Who the f3ck is really rapping? I’m a man, I know verse. All those fallacy. We knocked all the fallacy down. We buried it.
“We waged war on them. We buried every fucking fallacy. Every lie that they spoke against my name. We buried everything. We put everything to the gutter. To the fucking damn dengue.
“Every day. Odumodu cannot rap. What the fuck are these guys saying? What the fuck are they saying? Keep on playing that same bitch. Baby. Baby. Who is really rapping? Baby. We’re there here. We run up. They can’t take it away.
“All those cho-cho-cho. Now, all of them, when they see me, they’ll be looking at their shoes. I disgraced them”.
