MY ALBUM IS READY, WILL DROP ON MY BIRTHDAY (10-5-2018)

MY ALBUM IS READY, WILL DROP ON MY BIRTHDAY (10-5-2018) - OLA LAKESIDE

Ola lakeside is a big name, I can call him eja-nla. Its is not easy for an artiste to make it big in this part of the world. It is even a different story if you come from Island or Ikeja, the middle class of the society, but its a real hard 'shit' if you come from a place like Ijesha in Surulere. That place is the real ghetto. If you don't know Elegushi spender, you need to go back to primary school, Ola lakeside has also done other hit songs and has featured some big names in the Nigerian music scene including 9ice, Orishe Femi and Reminisce, just to name a few. Ola lakeside is the real MVP in Surulere, a product we are all proud of, just like Daddy Yo Wizkid.

Ola lakeside lets us into his world in this interview with QuadoowearTvBlog, he tells us his new projects and how he is planning heavily to drop his album on his birthday, 10-5-2018.

Enjoy!
