Nigerian artist De Mate joins forces with street-pop act Paddy K on “Osiso,” an upbeat Afrobeats record built around ambition, urgency, and the drive to keep moving forward.
Released on August 8, 2026, the track brings together melodic songwriting and energetic street-pop delivery for a lively addition to the Nigerian music scene.
The title “Osiso” comes from the Igbo language and means “quickly” or “fast.” That meaning shapes much of the song’s message, as De Mate reflects on the need to move with purpose, pursue financial progress, and stay focused on personal goals.
De Mate handles the melodic side of the record with catchy hooks that give the song an easy-to-follow quality. Paddy K adds a more energetic vocal approach, bringing extra intensity to the collaboration and complementing De Mate’s smoother delivery.
With its message of hustle and forward movement, “Osiso” gives De Mate and Paddy K a confident collaboration that connects ambition with an accessible Afrobeats sound.
Finally, the chemistry between both artists gives “Osiso” a lively character without making the production feel overcrowded.
