By Fast-rising afro pop sensation Oliks Omoba understands that competiton is rife in the music industry and he’s ready to raise his game to meet the demands and yearnings of the industry with the determination to rule the industry.
Having recorded his first song with indigenous rapper, Seriki some years back, Oliks, who has five songs to his credit, has continued to show glimpses of his God-given talent in his work, just as he gives his fans something to always talk about.
This explains why the singer, who calls his style of music Nansa HipHop a combination of Afro/Highlife was quick to return to the studio to build on the success he recorded with his last single, Kilonso, which he dropped last year.
