The song resonates deeply within the Nigerian music industry, offering a poignant narrative that speaks to the hustle and aspirations prevalent in Lagos, the vibrant city it's named after.
Born Folarin Odunlami in Lagos State, Nigeria, Fola has rapidly ascended as a prominent voice in Afrobeats. His journey began gaining significant traction in 2022 with the release of his debut single, “Ginger Me,” featuring Bella Shmurda. This was followed by his debut extended play, what a feeling, in 2024, which further showcased his unique blend of soulful melodies and Afrobeat rhythms. Notable collaborations and singles like “Alone” featuring BhadBoi OML (2024) and “Dangbana Riddim” with Bella Shmurda (2025) have solidified his position as a rising star, earning him recognition on charts and platforms like Apple Music's Africa Rising Class of 2025.
“Eko” is a somber, mid-tempo Afrobeats ditty that masterfully blends English and Yoruba lyrics to tell a story of survival and ambition in Lagos. With a tempo of 110 BPM and a G♯/A♭ key in a major mode, the track possesses a very danceable quality despite its reflective theme. The production, handled by LOL, provides a rich, immersive soundscape that perfectly complements Fola's emotive vocals and lyrical depth.
The powerful lyrics of “Eko” capture the essence of perseverance:
Go home or go harder
Ko shine bright like no other
Ooh, eni ba ma lo mo ah
And I've been working pass my co-worker
