God knows why he made O.D the leader of this group. He's smart, intelligent, outspoken and the aura and charisma. This guy is blessed
Be careful listening to OD.. I just missed my train listening to his endless flow and motion. A good story teller ❤❤
And they said he is not all that.
I always play different songs around the house because i love good music. My 7 years old son never danced to my afrobeat list or vibe to it, but i was mesmerized when i played Hotel Lobby on the second replay he just started singing the lyrics word for word that was when i knew Odumodu melodies was spiritual. That was how i got my friend hooked up on picanto few years ago now my son is on it too. This guy melodies need to be studied 100 percent.
Shoutout ANTIWORLD & OD
OD speaks so well!
Good job Joey. I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast.
Nice one🎉🎉🎉🎉
