Adekunle Gold and Olamide Reunite on Formation

Adekunle Gold and Olamide have finally dropped “Formation,” and the reunion track delivers exactly what fans were hoping for.

AG Baby and Baddo reunite on a mid-tempo record that blends soulful high-life guitar work with modern Afrobeats production. The song is about staying in your lane and keeping focus — no flashy declarations, just two artists who know their craft locking in.

YBNL roots run deep

Olamide signed Adekunle Gold to YBNL Nation early in his career, and their chemistry has always been obvious. “Formation” picks up where past collaborations left off, but the sound feels more refined — older, more deliberate.

The rollout was clean too: the duo channelled 70s fashion, posing against a vintage black Mercedes-Benz with a custom ‘YBNL’ plate. The visuals matched the energy of the song — nostalgic but forward-looking.

Afrobeats keeps looking inward

“Formation” arrives at a moment when Nigerian artists are increasingly drawing from indigenous sounds rather than chasing global trends. The high-life undercurrent here isn’t decorative — it’s structural. And that’s what makes it work.

Whether you’ve been following these two since the early days or you just need something new for the playlist, this one holds up on repeat.
