Street-Hop sensation and head of Zanku Records, Temidayo Omoniyi Raphael, more widely recognised by his stage name, Zlatan Ibile, has set social media abuzz with his new song, Oyoyo, a standout from his much-anticipated third studio album, Symbol of Hope (S.O.H).
The vibrant snippet, shared late on Monday, September 15, has fans buzzing with excitement, convinced that this track would top the charts like his previous hits, given his established track record of airwave dominance. There’s a shared anticipation among fans that the album would mark yet another transformative chapter in his career.
On the same day, the rapper posted on Instagram alongside the snippet, writing, “a day closer to Symbol Of Hope. #SOHTHEALBUM,” effectively linking the teaser to this major forthcoming release.
Zlatan began building the hype with a cryptic tweet on Friday, September 13, that simply read, Oyoyo. He followed this up with another tweet on Monday quoting a lyric from the song: “Even person wey follow shit for church dey see me shout Oyoyo.”
This particular line resonated with fans, suggesting a theme of triumph and celebration in the face of adversity. Accompanied by a high-octane video teeming with energetic rapping, dancing, and bright visuals, the excitement soared even higher.
Oyoyo is released following Get Better, a collaboration with rising artist, Fola, where the uplifting message of hope and determination shines through. The success of this track only amplifies expectations for S.O.H, which is set to marry Zlatan’s street-hop heritage with inspiring messages.
