By Nuel Nonny | 11th November 2021

Not relenting on the success of his recently released EP, “I Remember Everything (IRE)” Afrobeats sensation, Oladapo David Olajide, professionally known as Dapo Tuburna is set to release a new single titled “Yellow Cooler”.
Just like jollof rice in a yellow cooler at an owambe party, the groovy song recalls images of the good times.

The “See Finish” singer admits that the “Yellow Cooler” is a “happy pill that brightens up the room and brings the feeling of elevation from within.”

The Jad O-produced song was mixed & mastered by Syn x, and features elements of palm wine music in the instrumentals which makes the song a melodic fit for a celebratory mood.

“Let’s make a toast to the good life now, say mi story don change,” Dapo sings.

“Yellow Cooler” is a toast to the good life and a reminder to live in the moment and enjoy the fleeting good times.

Dapo Tuburna is set to make his mark in the industry with his depth for storytelling riding on the waves of catchy melodies, having worked with the likes of Olamide, Ycee and Mayorkun, to name a few.

Dapo reveals that he was influenced by music from greats such as Ebenezer Obey, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Damian Marley, Femi Kuti and 2Face Idibia.

The last of five kids, Dapo was born in Oshodi, a suburban area in Lagos, Nigeria. He started music at a very young age from the church, he had a military background as Navy boy in Nigerian navy school Abeokuta which also helped him shape his music. Learning from the greats, Dapo used to open for Femi Kuti at the African Shrine on Sundays which shaped him as a better musician.

Dapo Tuburna has paid his dues in the Nigerian music scene with hit songs including “Nothing,” “Ajala,” “Gingo Vibes” “Feel Free” and the fan favourite, “See Finish” on which he featured Mayorkun.

His unique style, poise, and charisma, boosted by the bubbly social life endeared him to music lovers which in no time led to his swift rise to prominence in music circles in Nigeria.

Dapo dropped his debut EP “I Remember Everything (IRE)” in March which has amassed over 10 million views.

His latest offering, “Yellow Cooler” is available across all digital streaming and download platforms from November 11th, 2021.
