Which Is A Better Album, Olamide’s “Carpe Diem” Vs Phyno’s “Something To Live For”?

Olamide and Phyno have both dominated the indigenous hip-hop scene together for years, and now they’re invading the pop scene and they’re doing well too.

The year 2020 saw Olamide drop his best album yet, “Carpe Diem,” a 12-track LP that chronicles his foray into Afrobeats. Olamide transformed from street rapper to pop star on that album.

The album, which has since been followed up by “UY Scuti,” was one of the best Nigerian albums of 2020—the same year “Made in Lagos” and “Twice As Tall” dropped, yeah.

That year, while everyone was dropping, Phyno was silent. Normally, he’s not the type to drop albums often; his latest album is only his fourth solo studio album. So, in 2020, Phyno didn’t drop anything.

Also, earlier, it was starting to look unlikely that he would drop this year too because he literally has no hit single. It’s almost a rule in the Nigerian music industry to not drop an album until you have one hit. Phyno broke that rule, went and drop an album, just like that.

Phyno‘s LP, “Something To Live For” has since its release been praised for its hip-hop songs and Phyno‘s general show of versatility on the album. In fact, some are saying, it is a better album than “Carpe Diem” because of that. But is it?

Well, I guess, there’s only one way to find us. You tell us.

Let’s hear from you.

By Peace
