Nigerian artist and software engineer OG Mage, born Samuel Ede Ogaba, has released his highly anticipated EP, “Love, Lost & Found.” Known for his unique ability to fuse the grit of 90s hip-hop with the infectious rhythms of modern Afrobeats and drill, OG Mage delivers a project that balances technical lyrical skill with profound emotional depth.
“Love, Lost & Found” is a nuanced exploration of the full lifecycle of modern relationships. Across the EP, OG Mage moves through the high of intimacy, the sting of heartbreak, and the eventual return to hope. The project functions as a sonic diary, reflecting the perspective of someone who has experienced the full spectrum of love and emerged with a deeper understanding of both devotion and self-worth.
The EP transitions seamlessly between different moods and textures. Tracks such as the title record “Love, Lost & Found” and “Rights & Wrongs” delve into themes of memory, commitment, and the weight of emotional responsibility. Conversely, songs like “Baby Boo” and “Beats & Peaches” showcase OG Mage’s playful side, leaning into the chemistry and lighthearted connection that define the early stages of romance.
By combining smooth R&B flows with rhythmic beats and melodic harmonies, OG Mage creates a multi-dimensional listening experience. His background as a software engineer perhaps informs the structural precision of the project, yet the storytelling remains raw, warm, and deeply human.
“Love, Lost & Found” is a testament to resilience—showing how love can be a painful teacher while still leaving an individual brave enough to try again. It is an honest, relatable project for anyone who has navigated the complexities of the heart.
“Love, Lost & Found” is now available for streaming on all major digital music platforms.
