Awolowo

The title “Awolowo” isn’t political. It’s symbolic. It represents a high state of mind — not just from cannabis, but from peace, clarity, elevation.

Fido uses the song to describe a place. A place where he feels free. Calm. Detached from the weight of the world.

The lyrics suggest a craving. Not for fame or attention, but for inner quiet. A break. A breath.

Listeners feel this. Many say it’s their “late-night therapy.” A song to play in silence. On a cruise. In thought. When words fail.

The vibe? Heavy. Emotional. Real. It doesn’t try too hard. It just exists — and that’s why it connects.

In the end, “Awolowo” is a state of mind. A soft space where pain fades. Where the world pauses. Where freedom feels possible — even for a few minutes.

Born Awosika Olayemi Josiah, Fido teamed up with producer Iyke Elvis to craft a track that blends smooth Afrobeat rhythms with introspective, emotional lyrics. At its core, “Awolowo” is a reflection of Fido’s personal life, struggles, and his longing for peace amidst the chaos around him. In his own words, it’s a way of channeling clarity through sound, using music as an outlet for everything he couldn’t always say aloud.

The raw honesty of the song has struck a chord with many — especially the youth — who find comfort in its vulnerability. Whether it’s played during a late-night cruise or moments of solitude, “Awolowo” has become an anthem for those seeking comfort, identity, and release. The song’s viral rise has placed Fido firmly in the spotlight as one of the most promising new voices in Afrobeats.
