Africa Now Radio: Nigerian Rapper Zlatan Discusses His New EP, His Versatility + More

Nigerian rapper and singer Zlatan joins Dadaboy Ehiz via FaceTime on Apple Music 1’s Africa Now Radio to talk about his latest track, 'Oganigwe' (feat. ODUMODBLVCK & Jeriq). He also discusses his new EP, ‘Omo Ologo,’ his recording process, and how he’s managed to showcase his versatility. 

Zlatan Tells Apple Music about his Approach to Releasing Music

"2023, I actually dropped music very late due to one reason or another, and then ever since Toulouse was cool and manageable for me. And then 2021 I dropped Resan, I could not jump out of the album to start releasing singles, I had to push and shoot videos from Resan for a little while before jumping into other singles. So this year I decided to myself that I want to start early so I can see more results” 

Zlatan Tells Apple Music about His Recording Process 

"Basically I’m so happy about ‘Omo Ologo’ because when I started, people would only classify me as a rapper or they call me a rapper and then there are some people who tend not to agree I’m a rapper in any way so I’ve been able to prove that I’m versatile for a while now. I tried to always drop rap songs because that’s actually where I started from rap battles so I tried to drop rap songs in-between my danceable songs and then celeb songs to like see new paths. So ‘Omo Logo’ came out and I came out with a challenge and top celebrities that are doing well felt like they loved the energy, they reached out to me, I sent the beat to them. So the track is actually doing well and the fact it’s actually a rap song I’m actually happy”
