Danny S Launches Debut Studio Album Olaborode After 12 Years of Consistent Releases
Nigerian street‑hop artist Danny S finally broke the mold that had defined his career for over a decade by unveiling his first full‑length studio album, Olaborode, on September 1, 2025. The 16‑track collection fuses Afrobeats grooves, Fuji rhythms and raw street‑hop beats, and even features Fuji icon 9ice on the standout track “Owo Lotto.” The record is now streaming across every major platform, supported by a coordinated marketing push from music plugger Olaitan Salaudeen.
Danny S’s journey began in 2013 with the breakout single “Shengbenne.” Four years later, “Off The Lite” helped cement his presence in the local scene. The artist’s breakthrough came in 2018 with the hit “Ege (Dribble),” which opened the door to a series of releases that year, including “Japaa” and “Freestyle.” The latter saw him collaborate with Nigerian rapper Olamide, a partnership that carried over into 2019’s “Waka Jeje.” These collaborations highlighted Danny S’s knack for blending street‑hop sensibilities with mainstream Nigerian rap.
Throughout his career, he has maintained a street‑hop core while experimenting with Afrobeats and Fuji sounds. In 2021, he dropped the extended play No Regret. The following year, he released La Grace and OLAMIDE in 2024. His 2023 singles “God Abeg” and “Halley” continued his steady output, and he followed up with “Omo Lile” in December 2024 and “OGO” in 2025.
Olaborode marks a significant milestone in Danny S’s 12‑year career. The album’s tracklist showcases a blend of infectious Afrobeats rhythms, traditional Fuji patterns and hard‑hitting street‑hop production. The inclusion of 9ice on “Owo Lotto” underscores the record’s cross‑genre appeal and reinforces Danny S’s willingness to bridge musical styles.
After the album’s release, Danny S kept the momentum alive with new singles such as “NO CALAMITY,” “Ta Ta Ta” and “Ope” in 2025. A remix of “OGO” featuring Portable followed on January 8, 2026, distributed through DistroKid and available on YouTube, Spotify and other streaming services.
The artist has reiterated his commitment to creating music and expanding his artistic reach. From his early singles in 2013 to a full‑length album in 2025, Danny S has consistently produced new material, maintaining relevance in the competitive Nigerian music scene.
With Olaborode and its subsequent singles, Danny S cements his status as a persistent figure in street‑hop. His collaborations with established artists like Olamide and 9ice demonstrate a readiness to blend genres and reach broader audiences. The album’s availability across streaming platforms, coupled with ongoing promotion from Olaitan Salaudeen, positions Danny S for sustained visibility in Nigeria’s dynamic music market.
