Image
Olamide Olamide took the fourth edition of his annual OLIC concert to the mainland for the first time; it’s obvious that the rap superstar has outgrown Eko Hotel’s overused Convention Center. The timely relocation granted ‘home advantage,’ of sorts, not only to the King of the Streets but also to the underground acts he customarily gives a platform to, as they performed in their natural habitat. In 2017, one of those acts was DJ Real, who’d built a solid reputation for hosting mixtapes containing the biggest street anthems, and for his work on local radio. The diminutive DJ is not to be mistaken for Mr. Real, the artist behind the street anthem “Legbegbe” (featuring Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks), who also performed at OLIC 4 and has played a significant role in the spread of a new viral dance called “shaku shaku”. Shaku shaku is a dance that’s performed by crossing your arms in front of each other at the wrist, widenin...
