Since first dropping the anime-sampling Naruto Drillings 4 years ago, the Nigerian-born, Irish-raised Offica has redefined what it means to be an Irish rapper, breaking records with a run of classic singles and game-changing freestyles. During this period, he has dropped tracks with YouTube phenomenon KSI, achieved the highest streaming UK Drill freestyle of all time (120m+ streams) and streamed a further 80m across his remaining catalogue, all without dropping a full-length project.
Offica has built a committed global audience across his own platforms, with fans drawn both by his surreal sense of humour, his fusion of Yoruba language with Irish slang, and his precision tooled ability to lead new musical trends.
Now ready to drop a two-part album that takes in his foundations as a rapper and pushes in an all-new direction; part 1 focusing on his ‘classic’ sound of anime-infused party drill contrasting with more introspective rap, and Part 2 pushing into a new direction of Afrobeats infused drill, based on tunes sampling the likes of Wizkid, D’banj and Psquare. To promote these two distinct parts, Offica is heading out from Ireland to hit his major territories – London, UK, Sydney, Australia, and Lagos, Nigeria. Our goal for this campaign is to connect Offica with his growing audiences outside of the UK and Ireland.
