Fuji music maestro, Abass Akande, popularly known as Obesere, is in the news again. Following the success of his new hip-hop single, Amin, which is currently enjoying ample airplay, Obesere has shot a video to the song along with the video of his yet-to-be-released single, Mobinutan. The two tracks are off his forthcoming album entitled Hip-hop Mafia.
Directed by Malaysian-based, fast-rising director, Yemlat, the videos were shot at choice locations around Lagos which include Ikorodu, Victoria Island and Agege.
In Amin, prominent movie stars, Jide Kosoko, Adebayo Salami popularly known as Oga Bello, Yinka Quadri amongst others made cameo appearances.
According to an industry source, Amin Video, which is a prayer song, is expected to drop next week for the Yuletide.
Speaking on his new hip-hop project and the motive behind the move, the eclectic singer said the effort was to further prove to critics his music prowess. “As the paramount king of music, what I’ve done is to prove to everyone that I’m a complete musician. There is no genre of music I cannot fit into. This new hip-hop jam is to further prove my competence, capability and versatility as a musician. And above all, I want my fans to also enjoy something unique and entertaining from me.”
It would be recalled the Ibadan-born musician was the first Fuji artiste to drop a hip-hop album when he featured Timaya, 9ice a couple of years back.
