OluwaTopcast: The Versatile Yoruba Gang Rapper with a Global Vision

OluwaTopcast, also known as Toheeb Omokolapo, needs no introduction in the Yoruba gang rap scene. His name, derived from the belief that “God alone is the highest,” reflects his strong Christian faith.

Toheeb is a true musical chameleon, able to seamlessly adapt to any beat and deliver fire bars. He’s not confined to a single genre, but rather embraces the power of versatility.

His musical journey began early, and his talent was recognized when he won the Kwara State Poly talent hunt in 2022. Since then, Topcast has established himself as a force to be reckoned with, even serving as an ambassador for Otedola music and performing at the Spotlight concert.

While his love for music is undeniable, his passion for Indian music is truly unique. He draws inspiration from this unexpected source, further demonstrating his open-mindedness and global perspective.

Topcast views himself as a “preacher” through his music, using his platform to share his message and connect with his audience. His ultimate goal is to achieve Grammy recognition as an indigenous rapper, showcasing the power and beauty of Yoruba language and culture on a global stage.

He has always been a solo artist, preferring to collaborate with Indian artists rather than Nigerian ones. However, he remains open to collaborations with any Nigerian artist who wants to feature him.

As the 2024 “Mic on Fire” winner, OluwaTopcast is a true testament to the power of dedication and talent. His versatility, global vision, and unwavering passion make him an artist to watch closely.

Remember, in his own words: “To ju emi e, if it is not music, it is not work, se ise ni yen sa?” (If it’s not music, it’s not work, is that even work?)
