The EP blends indigenous African sounds with contemporary beats, with themes of discovery, celebration, and love woven throughout.
The EP’s lead track, “I Do,” explores the depths of love with a catchy rhythm and heartfelt narrative, while standout tracks like the genre-bending “oSha-Piano,” the viral hit “Life of the Party,” the high-energy “Notorious,” and the autobiographical “Won Femo” offer listeners a deeper glimpse into oSHAMO’s world. The defiant track “Alaska” addresses stereotypes faced by Nigerian migrants in the UK.
With *First of My Kind,* oSHAMO solidifies his place as one of Afrobeats’ most promising new talents, merging cultural heritage with modern influences to create an innovative, authentic sound that bridges cultures and defies genres. His debut EP marks him as a truly unique voice in global music, ready to make a lasting impact on the scene. Here’s the listening link.
