With a voice that rumbles like distant thunder and a presence that owns the air around him, Nigerian artist Tochukwu Ojugwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, is reshaping the soundscape of modern African music. He didn’t just step into music in 2017; he announced himself. But it wasn’t until  Picanto (featuring Ecko Miles & Zlatan) in 2022 that the world truly turned its head, drawn to the sound of a man who was not chasing fame but was born ready for it.

Who is this genre-bending griot who minted his own sound, danced with giants of the industry, and gifted the Internet a cascade of cultural gold—from viral memes to magnetic verses?

Odumodublvck began as a rapper and songwriter, but calling him that barely scratches the surface. debuting with the powerful Ikemefuna, a track that instantly marked him as an artist to watch and  A clarion call that a new force had arrived. His music has since evolved into a signature blend of Nigerian Alté, Afrobeats, Afro Swing and gritty hip-hop – earning him both critical acclaim and viral traction.

He is a key member of Antiworld Gangsters (AWG), a Nigerian hip-hop collective that includes Fatboy E, Agunna, Shagba, and Reeplay, AWG blends the raw edge of hip-hop with the eclectic pulse of Nigerian Alté, Afrobeats, and Afroswing. Together,  they’ve delivered standout projects like Anti-World Gangstars and Nothing Changed, redefining the rhythm of rebellion.

Hailing from Abuja, Odumodublvck started performing at house parties, university shows, and local stages before rising to prominence. His early collaborations with fellow Abuja artists like Psycho YP (Bando Diaries, Untitled, O Di Dan Dan (The Remix), Where Dem Dey (Remix), and Settle Us!) Alpha Ojini(Vigilante), and Reeplay (Saint Obi, Very Big Boy, Carry Dey Go, Her Prescence) not only grew his discography but created a brotherhood and community of sound.

Despite his rising fame, Odumodublvck remains grounded. He keeps his personal life private, though he often credits his mother and close supporters as the bedrock of his success. His humility, however, stands in stark contrast to the undeniable confidence that pulses through every line he delivers.

His music doesn’t bend to the crowd; it leads them and in the fast-evolving universe of Afrobeats, he hasn’t just joined the conversation; he’s set the tone. His music, however, is anything but quiet. His lyrics speak to the hustle, humor, and heart of the Nigerian youth experience, and his Eziokwu hat has become a symbol of the cultural movement he represents.He doesn’t perform like someone searching for validation—he delivers each bar with the certainty of someone who’s already claimed his throne which is why he was awarded the Next-Rated at the 2025 Headies.
