Olamide’s latest 17-track album draws on a broad group of producers, with credits spanning established names and younger talents. Among them is Adenola Adesegun Gabriel, professionally known as Eskeez, whose production and co-production credits appear across several of the record’s tracks, including the opener “Hasibunallah,” “Kai!” featuring Wizkid, “Special,” “1 Shot,” “Ruba,” “Rain” featuring Popcaan, and “Paris,” produced with veteran producer ID Cabasa.

Most of these credits are shared with Semzi, reflecting a collaborative production partnership rather than a record shaped by a single producer. Other tracks feature P.Priime, Yung Willis, Magicsticks and Larrylanes, while “Indika,” produced by Dr. Dre and Spinall, provides another international dimension to the album’s production.

Eskeez’s connection with Olamide, however, predates the current project. His credits with the rapper extend back to the 2020 EP 999, followed by UY Scuti in 2021, Unruly in 2023 and Ikigai in 2024. His involvement across five projects points to a working relationship that has developed over time rather than a single successful placement.

“Kai!,” released as the album’s lead single on April 28, 2025, offers one of the clearest examples of the partnership. Co-produced by Eskeez and Semzi, the track brings Olamide together with Wizkid and was used to introduce the album to listeners ahead of its release. Its production balances the commercial demands of a major collaboration with the established sound of both artists.

“Rain” takes a different approach. Produced solely by Eskeez, the track features Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan and moves towards reggae-influenced territory. Olamide has cited Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill’s “Turn Your Lights Down Low” among the references for the song, giving the production a defined musical direction. Eskeez’s work here is less about reproducing a familiar Afrobeats formula and more about creating space for the reggae and dancehall elements to sit naturally within Olamide’s sound.

“Ruba,” another Eskeez and Semzi production, shifts the mood again. More restrained and melodic than “Kai!,” it provides another example of the producers working across different registers within the album rather than relying on one sonic template.

The range of these contributions is perhaps more revealing than the number of credits alone. Eskeez moves between a high-profile Afrobeats collaboration, reggae-influenced production and a quieter melodic record, while working alongside different artists and producers.

The album does not belong to one producer, and its production credits make that clear. But Eskeez’s recurring presence across Olamide’s catalogue, and the different musical settings in which his work appears, offer a useful measure of his development as a producer. Across five projects, the relationship has become a consistent feature of Olamide’s evolving sound.
