LADIPOE, Mavin Records’ first rapper signee, drops “Folasade,” an introspective Afrobeats-rap fusion featuring emotive storytelling and polished production.
LADIPOE releases “Folasade,” a two-minute single produced by Arthurity and Johnny Drille under Mavin Global Holdings. The track fuses his incisive rap with mellow Afrobeats melodies as he delivers a poetic ode to love, longing, and vulnerability. His opening bars—“Every lifeline I trace leads me back to your name”—set a head-nodding groove, while his lyrical precision cements his title as Nigeria’s “Leader of the Revival.”

Signed as the first rapper to Mavin Records in two thousand seventeen, LADIPOE first broke through with “Shaker” and then cemented his reputation with “Feeling” featuring BNXN, which surpassed eighty million streams. His versatility shone on last year’s “Compose” with taves and “Hallelujah” alongside Rozzz and Morello, demonstrating his ability to navigate between introspective songwriting and crossover appeal.
On “Folasade,” Arthurity’s crisp percussion and Johnny Drille’s melodic keys provide a polished backdrop that highlights LADIPOE’s storytelling. The song’s title nods to a muse figure, inviting listeners into an intimate narrative that balances emotional depth with heady rhythms. His self-directed lyric video ensures that each bar lands with impact for his dedicated “chop mouth crew.”
