MTN Next Afrobeats Star Runner-Up Davecash Releases Anticipated Eight-Track EP “The One”

2 min read

Fast-rising Nigerian Afrobeats singer, songwriter, and rapper Davecash, widely known as DaveCash Omo Ologo, has officially released his compelling new eight-track EP, The One. Distributed globally via ONErpm, the project captures the grit of chasing success, the warmth of romance, and the determination required to push through uncertain seasons.

Born Oladipupo David, Davecash surged onto the national radar after finishing as the first runner-up in the inaugural MTN Next Afrobeats Star talent competition—a milestone that earned him a landmark ₦100 million music deal and introduced his sound to audiences across Nigeria. On The One, he channels that breakthrough momentum into a cohesive body of work balancing street ambition with heartfelt vulnerability.

The EP opens with “Kumamba,” a candid reflection on hunger and drive even before the rewards of hard work arrive. “Composure” shifts into Afro-fusion territory, detailing the thrill of crossing paths with a woman whose presence leaves him visibly unsettled, before “Okay” delivers a reassuring dose of optimism—insisting everything will turn out fine even when “money no dey.” Matters of the heart take center stage on “Sade,” where he expresses admiration for a captivating love interest, followed by “Adore U,” a tender, repeated affirmation of devotion.

“Slowly” dials down the tempo for an intimate look at a romance worth building with patience rather than haste. The energy surges back on “Sare,” a gritty hustle anthem tracing Davecash’s journey from Ajasa to his current vantage point, fueled by a refusal to slip back into financial hardship. Closing the project, “Star” cleverly reimagines the classic “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” nursery rhyme into a bold declaration of ambition and reaching for greater heights.

Across The One, Davecash navigates the pressures of making a living alongside the excitement of connection, offering a grounded introduction to an artist sharpening his voice while keeping his eyes firmly on the future.

The One by Davecash is out now and available on all major digital music streaming platforms worldwide via ONErpm.
