Sutton-based brotherly duo Osaze & Marcus tap ODUMODUBLVCK on the remix of their viral Afroswing anthem “Splendid,” produced by 8key.
The original already proved itself. It peaked at number two on the UK TikTok Charts, number five on UK Viral Spotify, and hit number one on Nigeria’s Viral Spotify Chart. A dance challenge pushed the record across both markets simultaneously – so the audience on both sides of the Atlantic already knew the song before ODUMODUBLVCK’s name was added to it.
But the remix is not just cashing in. ODUMODUBLVCK brings genuine value here. His unmistakable cadence and charisma give “Splendid” a dimension the original simply could not carry alone. His verse lands with the same effortless authority that made records like “DECLAN RICE” and “DOG EAT DOG II” move cultural conversations – except here he plays a supporting role, which he handles without losing any of his personality.
Osaze & Marcus have built their story quickly. Four yes votes on Britain’s Got Talent, shared stages with Tion Wayne, Russ Millions, and Not3s, a debut EP and then “Hello” – all before this record. Born in London to Nigerian and Polish parents, their Afrobeats and UK rap blend was always going to resonate across borders. But securing ODUMODUBLVCK for the “Splendid” remix confirms they are playing at a higher level now.
For UK Afroswing fans and Nigerian hip-hop listeners, this remix brings two worlds together without either side having to compromise.
