OPINION: Phyno and Olamide’s ‘Ghost Mode’ Is The Biggest Rap Collaboration In Nigerian Even In 2023

Hip-hop has been a dominant force in Nigerian music for decades. From pioneers like, Mode9, MI, Vector, Eedris Abdulkareem and Ruggedman to superstars like Phyno and Olamide, Nigerian hip-hop has produced some of the biggest names in African music.

One of the most successful and influential Nigerian rappers of the past decade is Phyno. Born Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, Phyno started his career as a producer before breaking out as a rapper in the early 2010s. He quickly gained a massive following with his unique style, which blends Igbo language and culture with contemporary hip-hop beats.

In 2012, Phyno dropped what is arguably the biggest collaboration in Nigerian rap music history: “Ghost Mode” featuring Olamide. Olamide, also known as Baddo or the YBNL boss, is another Nigerian hip-hop heavyweight who has been making waves since his debut in 2011.

“Ghost Mode” was an instant hit, receiving massive airplay and critical acclaim. The song’s fast-paced beat and witty lyrics showcased both Phyno and Olamide’s impressive rap skills, cultural pride, and their determination to succeed in the music industry.

Phyno’s verse in Igbo was a breath of fresh air in the Nigerian rap scene, which was dominated by English-language lyrics at the time. He proudly rapped about his roots, his success, and his determination to stay true to his culture.

Olamide’s verse in Yoruba was equally impressive, showcasing his unique flow and wordplay.

The chorus of the song was catchy and energetic, with a hook that translates to “we’re the bosses, we’re unstoppable, we’re the real deal.” The music video, which was directed by Clarence Peters, was equally impressive, featuring stunning visuals, stylish fashion, and high-energy performances from Phyno and Olamide.

“Ghost Mode” remains a fan favorite and a classic Nigerian hip-hop song that has stood the test of time even in 2023. It’s a testament to the impact of Nigerian hip-hop on the global music scene and the incredible talents of Phyno and Olamide.

In conclusion, if you’re a hip-hop lover or a fan of Nigerian music, you need to listen to “Ghost Mode” on more time. It’s a masterpiece that has solidified Phyno and Olamide’s place in Nigerian music history.
