Afrobeat fire meets rap grit.
Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, steps boldly into unfamiliar territory with his latest musical outing — “Opp(s)”, a fierce and energetic collaboration with Nigerian rap heavyweights Vector and Odumodublvck.
Best known for his fiery saxophone, politically charged lyrics, and leadership of the Egypt 80 band, Seun swaps his traditional Afrobeat vocals for hard-hitting rap bars, proving he’s more than just his father’s legacy. This time, he’s not just blowing the horn — he’s spitting fire.
A Fusion of Eras, Sounds & Swagger
“Opp(s)” delivers a gritty street anthem layered with sharp lyricism and pulsating production. Seun’s rap debut is surprisingly raw and unapologetic, fitting seamlessly next to Vector’s calculated cadence and Odumodublvck’s signature gruff energy.
Though new to the rap scene, Seun’s verse doesn’t feel like a guest spot — he owns his space. His delivery is confident, politically aware (as expected), and rhythmically in tune with the genre’s pulse.
Hip-Hop Meets Afro-Activism
What makes “Opp(s)” unique isn’t just the collaboration — it’s the collision of Afrobeat consciousness with Nigerian hip-hop street culture. The song tackles themes of resistance, power dynamics, and social tension, staying true to the “opposition” concept while showcasing three different yet complementary styles.
Seun brings activist energy, Vector brings technical finesse, and Odumodublvck brings the street — it’s a sonic blend of Lagos grit and ancestral rebellion.
What This Means
For fans of Seun Kuti, this is a rare and exciting departure from the familiar. For Nigerian hip-hop, it’s a nod to the genre’s increasing openness to genre-crossing voices. And for music lovers? It’s a moment — one that reminds us that African music is constantly evolving.
“Opp(s)” isn’t just a track — it’s a statement: The old guard can flex with the new school, and the mic has no boundaries.
