Legend Extra Stout partnered with Palmwine Music Festival this December to deliver two nights of carefully curated live music across Abuja and Lagos. Both cities delivered memorable performances, but the Lagos edition added a layer of unpredictability when Tems and Odumodu Blvck made unannounced appearances.

The festival moved through two cities, starting in Abuja on December 12 at Jabi Boat Club before heading to Lagos on December 21 at The Fidelity Ground in Oniru. Across both nights, Legend Extra Stout’s signature was evident – bold, unapologetic and rooted in the culture it celebrates.

Abuja set the tone with performances from Ladipoe, BOJ, Ajebutter and Moelogo, among others. The night leaned into intimacy, with relaxed, assured sets that allowed the music to breathe. Legend Extra Stout flowed naturally through the evening, from backstage moments to shared conversations in the crowd, reinforcing the festival’s unhurried, communal atmosphere.

By the time the festival reached Lagos a week later, anticipation had built. The Fidelity Ground became a hub for Nigeria’s alternative music community, powered by Legend Extra Stout, hosting performances from Show Dem Camp, BOJ, Ladipoe, Tay Iwar, Lady Donli, Prettyboy D-O, Moonchild Sanelly and others. Each act brought a distinct energy, with performances unfolding seamlessly and the crowd responding in kind.

Midway through the night, the momentum shifted. As Show Dem Camp settled into their set, Tems stepped onto the stage without introduction. The response was instant – a surge of excitement that marked one of the festival’s defining moments. The night pushed further as Odumodu Blvck followed, another surprise that sent energy through the crowd and kept the atmosphere escalating.

Palmwine Music Festival occupies a distinct space within Nigeria’s live music circuit, spotlighting artists and sounds just outside the mainstream while shaping contemporary culture. The Abuja and Lagos editions proved the strength of that approach through strong line-ups, intimate environments and well-timed spontaneity. The takeaway was clear: Palmwine Fest is less about spectacle and more about experience. Legend Extra Stout’s partnership across both cities reflected a natural alignment with a festival built on authenticity, creative expression and cultural connection.

Do you remember the classic love song “Olufunmi“? We’re sure you do. Maybe you sang it to your crush, or maybe someone sang it to you and it felt like pure magic. That unforgettable tune by the iconic group Styl–Plus? Well, get ready for a wave of nostalgia and something refreshingly new.

Rapper Ladipoe has released a brand new version of the timeless hit, and yes, it comes with his signature wordplay and smooth flow. Titled “Olufunmi (The Missing Recipe)”, the track is a sweet reimagining of the Styl-Plus classic and guess what? The legendary group joins him on the song, bringing along their soulful harmonies and familiar romantic vibes.

“Olufunmi (The Missing Recipe)” is a tender ode to love, longing and emotional vulnerability. It blends modern-day lyricism with the timeless emotions we all felt when the original dropped. Ladipoe’s verses explore the beauty and complexity of love, the heartbreaks, the promises, the yearning, and he does so with both honesty and flair.

Sharing his thoughts on the collaboration, Ladipoe says: “Putting this together has been an experience I can never forget. Thank you Styl-Plus for showing love and letting me be part of the legacy in my own small way.”

It’s sweet, it’s nostalgic, and it’s everything we didn’t know we needed.

Mavin Records rapper LADIPOE has dropped his latest single, Folasade, and it’s fire. Known for his razor-sharp lyricism and genre-blending prowess, LADIPOE delivers a poetic ode and a vibey tune, cementing his status as Nigeria’s “Leader of the Revival.”

Folasade is a seamless fusion of LADIPOE’s signature introspective rap and mellow Afrobeats melodies, showcasing his ability to craft emotionally resonant stories. The song, presumably named after a muse, dives into themes of love, longing, and vulnerability, with Poe’s witty “Lifelines” weaving heartfelt bars into a smooth, head-nodding groove. The accompanying lyric video, shared by LADIPOE himself, caters to his “chop mouth crew,” ensuring every bar lands with impact.

Following his 2024 releases like Compose with taves and Hallelujah with Rozzz and Morello, Folasade marks another chapter in LADIPOE’s versatile evolution. His earlier hits, like 2021’s Feeling with BNXN, which racked up over 80 million streams, set a high bar, but Folasade holds its own with its intimate storytelling and polished production. As the first rapper signed to Mavin Records in 2017, LADIPOE continues to redefine Nigerian hip-hop, blending it with Afropop appeal.

Stream Folasade now on all platforms and catch LADIPOE’s lyrical magic in full bloom. Listen here.
