Zlatan Essentials

Zlatan Essentials

No one may know what the slang “Kapaichumarimarichopaco” means, but its appearance on a track provides advance notice that Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael—popularly known as Zlatan—is certain to serve a high-energy, foot-stomping anthem. When the Nigerian singer and rapper landed on the scene with the Olamide-assisted 2017 single “My Body”, he established himself as a firecracker ready to spark a new high in Nigerian street pop music and culture. Sure enough, his subsequent releases would see this take effect. He kicked off a flawless run of hit singles in 2018, from “Zanku” and “This Year” to “Shotan” featuring Tiwa Savage—all of which would eventually appear on his debut studio album, Zanku. Whether collaborating with powerhouses like Burna Boy on “Killin Dem”, IVD on “Bolanle” or flying solo on “Yeye Boyfriend”, Zlatan is sure to deliver an enthralling flow between English and Pidgin with his fiery ad-libs.
