I know sometimes the rain is frightening
No matter how hard the seed is ripening
So when you hear Icy Prince, you hype him, yeah!

And I hope they play this
So I can grow up from low to apex
Until my account is fat and shapeless
Too many songs, but mine is latest, yeah
So love my haters

Beating my chest, I'm on the Ape list
You should be honoured and bow to greatness, yeah

About This Song
"Oleku" is a swaggering Afrobeats-influenced hip-hop anthem that captures the intoxicating confidence of a young artist on the verge of mainstream breakthrough. The song revolves around themes of sexual magnetism, artistic prowess, and the heady rush of newfound fame, with Ice Prince positioning himself as an irresistible force both romantically and professionally. The title "Oleku" (meaning "my own" in Yoruba) becomes a possessive declaration of dominance, while Brymo's hypnotic hook blends English and Yoruba to create an infectious chant about overwhelming attraction and desire. Ice Prince's verses showcase his cocky wordplay and self-assured delivery as he boasts about his rising status in the Nigerian music scene, deflecting hate while celebrating his unique appeal. The production fuses traditional Afrobeats percussion with contemporary hip-hop elements, creating a distinctly Nigerian sound that was pioneering for its time. Brymo's melodic contributions add a sensual, almost trance-like quality that contrasts beautifully with Ice Prince's rapid-fire bars. The song resonated deeply because it captured the optimism and swagger of Nigeria's emerging hip-hop generation, offering a template for how local artists could blend indigenous sounds with global rap aesthetics. "Oleku" became a cultural phenomenon that helped establish Ice Prince as a major force in African hip-hop while showcasing the commercial potential of Afrobeats-rap fusion.
