St. Claire Records is thrilled to announce the release of ODA CITY (Vol. 1), an audacious and innovative hip-hop project by acclaimed Nigerian producer and artist Rhaffy, in collaboration with hip-hop artist TenTik.
This pioneering project is set to launch on November 20, 2024, and stands as a significant milestone in Nigerian hip-hop, symbolising a new age for St. Claire Records and the limitless creativity of her acts.
ODA CITY is a manifestation of Rhaffy's vision for a hip-hop project that is not only fearless but culturally impactful. Following his recent accomplishments—including the Love Lane Tour, his debut solo project Serenade, and his role as primary producer on Dwin, The Stoic’s Master of Ballads—ODA CITY marks a fresh chapter in Rhaffy's career. As both producer and performing artist, Rhaffy collaborates with TenTik to create a project that challenges conventional boundaries and heralds a new St. Claire universe.
With six powerhouse tracks, ODA CITY is a testament to Rhaffy’s versatile production skills and TenTik’s lyrical depth. The project’s title is a play on the word “audacity”—reflecting the bold and uncompromising nature of the music and its creators. ODA CITY celebrates the audacity to redefine hip-hop within a Nigerian and African context.
The project is also packed with features from some of the most exciting voices in Nigerian music: Giftty, Otims, Dr. Barz, Hotyce, Jaido P, Black Beatz, and Dwin, The Stoic. Each track is crafted with intricate attention to detail, underscoring the talents of both Rhaffy and TenTik as they build a new creative universe in ODA CITY—a world where Rhaffy stands as the architect of sound.
The tracklist includes:
● "I Am" (ft Giftty) – A powerful opening track that sets the tone for the project’s daring and bold themes.
● "On G" (ft Mojo AF) – The project’s lead single, a high-energy anthem that has already resonated deeply within the Nigerian rap community.
● "Blessed" (ft Otims) – A reflection on resilience and gratitude in the face of challenges.
● "Feel Like David" (ft Dr. Barz, Hotyce, Jaido P) – A track celebrating victory and the
relentless spirit of those who refuse to back down.
● "Plenty Paper" (ft Black Beatz) – A track about ambition and the pursuit of success.
● "Vibration" (ft Dwin, The Stoic) – A hypnotic and introspective piece that closes the
project, reflecting on personal growth and resilience.
ODA CITY (Vol. 1) is more than an album; it’s the foundation of a new era in the St. Claire Records universe. The project represents the dawning of a movement that blends Nigerian hip-hop with an unyielding global outlook—an era where audacity is celebrated, and boundaries are redefined.
