'Omo To Shan' - Olamide ft Whizkid

In less than 2 years, young rapper oLamide, has gained attention with just one single ‘Eni duro’ which was accompanied by a very creative video and subsequently, his debut album ‘Rapsodi‘.
While most of the other ‘Yoruba-lingo’ speaking rappers were struggling to outclass the late Dagrin‘s style, oLamide took on another lane and distinguished himself. His debut single and video played a major role in creating an image for himself. Props should also go to DJ Tee for the brilliant video directing in ‘Eni duro‘.
But if the Coded Tunes rapper thought he could relive the experience once again with the video to ‘Omo to shan’ which features Wizkid, then he should hold video director DJ Tee responsible for killing any possible chance. ‘Omo to shan‘ could have been the next big hit if only DJ Tee hadn’t bungled it.
The video to the second single lacks direction and concept. One would wonder what was going through DJ Tee’s mind when he was shooting the video. The story starts out right from the beginning then takes a sharp left in the lane of mediocrity. Make up – poor, camera handling – poor. A ‘Tales By Moonlight‘ episode would win an award over this.
