Nigerian rap heavyweight Odumodublvck is gearing up to release one of the most anticipated hip-hop projects of 2025 — his next studio album titled The Industry Machine. And from all indications, it’s set to be a game-changer.
In a recent interview on Radio Jusmen, Odumodublvck revealed a stacked lineup of high-profile collaborations that will feature on the album. Afrobeats superstar Davido, along with UK rap giants Skepta and Stormzy, are all confirmed to appear — setting the stage for a bold, cross-continental sonic experience.
“The Industry Machine will feature Davido, Skepta, Stormzy. It’s intense and it’s going to change a lot for us,” Odumodublvck said during the interview.
The project will be his third full-length body of work in three years, continuing his meteoric rise in Nigeria’s rap scene. He likened his earlier 2023 EP, The Machine Is Coming, to John the Baptist, calling it a prophetic precursor to the arrival of The Industry Machine — which he says will cement his dominance in the game.
This won’t be the first time he’s linked up with Davido. Their first collaboration, Funds, appeared on Davido’s latest album 5ive, which has been receiving heavy rotation. Odumodublvck also recently teamed up with Skepta and Idris Elba on the gritty street anthem Jangilova, making this upcoming reunion with Skepta and now Stormzy all the more significant.
Ongoing Beef with Blaqbonez
Beyond the music, Odumodublvck hasn’t shied away from controversy. He used the interview to take aim at Blaqbonez, criticizing the Emeka Must Shine rapper’s recent claim of being Nigeria’s “best rapper.” According to Odumodublvck, such statements disrespect the rap pioneers who laid the groundwork for the current scene.
Tensions between the two have been simmering for months, recently escalating after Blaqbonez threw subliminal jabs on A-Q’s track Who’s Really Rapping. While fans have been dissecting the lines for clues, Odumodublvck made it clear: he sees Blaqbonez’s claims as nothing more than hype.
What’s Next?
As The Industry Machine approaches its release date, Odumodublvck stands at the center of Nigerian hip-hop’s next evolution. With global names backing him and a fiercely loyal fanbase behind him, expectations are sky-high.
Whether you’re tuning in for the bars, the drama, or the star power, one thing is certain — Odumodublvck is not slowing down.
