Rounding out the week’s big releases is a collaboration between the seasoned Skiibii and the rising star of the trenches, Bhadboi OML, titled No Wam. The track is a quintessential piece of Nigerian street-pop, blending the smooth, confident delivery of Skiibii with the smooth, melodic grit that has made Bhadboi OML a favourite among the new generation of listeners.
No Wam (a South-South slang term essentially meaning "no problem" or "no worries") is a song of resilience and nonchalance in the face of life's hurdles. The song's production is rooted in a mid-tempo groove that allows both artists to trade verses seamlessly. Skiibii brings his veteran experience to the table, providing a polished hook, while Bhadboi OML adds an authentic street edge that gives the track its soul.
The chemistry between the two is surprisingly natural. Skiibii has always been an artist who knows how to adapt to the changing sounds of the industry, and by pairing with Bhadboi OML, he taps into the current wave of street-soul that is dominating the Nigerian underground and mainstream alike. It’s a collaboration that feels like a passing of the torch in some ways, while also proving that Skiibii still has his finger on the pulse.
