Wale Turner Returns with New Single “Ogo,” Featuring Gingo & Trod

Wale Turner, the Nigerian artist whose music journey took off following a viral 2016 freestyle, marks his return with the powerful new single, “Ogo.” Meaning ‘glory’ in Yoruba, the track is not merely a celebration of success but a potent anthem of survival, resilience, and faith, featuring dynamic collaborations with Gingo and Trod.

“Ogo” pulses with the energy of lessons learned the hard way, capturing the weight of the past while looking forward with gratitude. The song opens with a clear moment of thanksgiving: “Ogo t’e n ri / Oluwa lo funmi” (“The glory you see / God gave it to me”), immediately sharing the credit for his achievements with a higher power.

The track quickly builds momentum as Gingo steps in with a sharp flow and vivid imagery, referencing Aston Martins, the legendary Obafemi Martins, and carnival vibes. Gingo’s verse is a statement of self-belief and undeniable results: “I no need CV / Ise ori ni” (My results speak for themselves), anchored by the conviction that “Oluwa lo ran mi,” meaning God sustained him through his journey.

Trod follows with his signature blend of calm confidence, humor, and depth. His line, “Still young after 45 / Won lo dun bi 5alive” (Still young after 45 / They say it tastes like 5Alive), brings a smile while signifying his enduring presence and ability to keep standing strong in the industry.

“Ogo” is a triumphant declaration that the artists have made it through their challenges. It is a moment of shared victory, where arms are raised and hearts are full, giving credit where it is due. The single celebrates not just the glory of the present but the perseverance that earned it.

“Ogo” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
