OShamo - ALASKA lyrics

oSHAMO brings real vibes with his track "ALASKA" — it’s got both style and a message tinged with patriotism that resonates with anyone who feels connected to home, even when dreaming of something greater. The music video, though modest, skillfully captures this atmosphere, amplifying an already powerful message. Those who’ve left for foreign lands in the "cold" may find something of their own here, but Oshamo speaks to his people, urging them to reflect: “Japa” isn’t always the answer — sometimes it’s far more important to understand your roots and appreciate what you have.

The track bursts with afro vibes — the melody hooks you from the first seconds and holds on until the end. In this way, Oshamo really does remind fans of Asake’s style, something they've already pointed out. Each beat, each line sounds as if he’s lived it, gone through his own “freeze,” and found a way to stay true to himself. This honesty is what resonates with viewers who know him from his time on Korty’s show — that’s where many first noticed Oshamo, and he clearly didn’t disappoint.

The song’s lyrics speak of life, the pursuit of something better, and nostalgia for home. He skillfully uses slang that’s familiar to anyone on the streets of Agege, infused with the energy of Africa that runs through all his music. The reference to Korty’s story adds an extra charm and confidence that Oshamo knew exactly what he wanted from the start and used the platform to put himself out there. You can tell he pours his soul into this and is moving towards his goal. This track commands respect — Oshamo isn’t just creating vibes; he’s speaking to those who dream too, without losing his connection to where he’s from.

And this is it, his moment. Egbon don blow. From Agege to the global stage — Oshamo is rising and leading the wave, showing that it’s possible to “take off” while staying true to your roots. "Alaska" is both a story of struggle, hope for something better, and simply some damn good music.
