Olatop Ekula just dropped something called “Chase.” If you’ve followed him at all, you know he’s been building steadily, teaming up with Zinoleesky on records like “Owo” and the “Abanikanda” remix, putting out his own stuff like “Ire’nitemi” along the way.
Street-pop’s where he lives, and he’s kept busy there, pulling solid features and staying consistent with his output. That kind of steady grind is usually what builds a real following over time, not one viral moment but just showing up again and again.
Sound-wise, you’d expect that same street-pop foundation, punchy drums carrying the beat, melody filling in the space around it. Nothing too far off from what’s already worked for him.
Olatop Ekula tends to bring energy and confidence to the mic, that’s basically been the formula, catchy hooks paired with lyrics people can actually relate to. “Chase” probably doesn’t stray far from that.
Given the title, this is likely about pursuit, chasing money, chasing a dream, chasing somebody, take your pick. That kind of hustle-driven theme fits right into where street-pop usually lives.
By the end, it plays like another solid addition to a catalog that just keeps growing. Confident, energetic, built for repeat plays rather than a one-off moment.
