Born in Lagos and raised in Abuja, Odumodu Blvck grew up immersed in Nigeria’s diverse cultural influences, which would later shape his unconventional sound and lyrical direction.

An alumnus of the University of Lagos with a degree in Mass Communication, he first gained recognition as part of the Abuja-based hip-hop collective Anti-World Gangstars.

In 2023, his single “Declan Rice” became an anthem beyond music, embraced by international football communities and further amplifying his influence across borders. His debut project, Eziokwu, released in 2023, debuted at number one in Nigeria and received critical acclaim for its originality and artistic depth.

Recognized for his fearless storytelling, Odumodu Blvck addresses themes of identity, social commentary, and cultural pride, carving out a unique space for himself in Nigerian hip-hop. His music is marked by unapologetic authenticity, rooted in urban Nigerian life yet resonant with global audiences.

Beyond music, he has become a symbol of youthful rebellion and innovation, aligning with forward-thinking movements and championing partnerships such as his fintech collaboration with Yellow Card to inspire financial literacy across Africa.

Today, Odumodu Blvck is celebrated not only for his genre-bending sound but also for his role in expanding the possibilities of African hip-hop.

With his rising influence, bold creativity, and growing international appeal, he stands as a vanguard of Nigeria’s next musical frontier, embodying resilience, originality, and the unyielding spirit of contemporary African artistry.
