Nigerian rap star Odumodublvck has confirmed that fans will finally get their first official look at his highly anticipated project, The Machine Is Here, this Friday, September 19, 2025.
The rapper, also known as Big Kala, made the announcement on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, through a personal letter and a press release he shared on X (formerly Twitter). The post, titled “A Letter from Kala – Industry Machine”, carried both his reflections on the past year and an official statement from his labels, NATIVE Records and Def Jam Recordings.
In the heartfelt letter, Odumodublvck looked back on a whirlwind 12 months of touring, success, and awards. “What a year it has been. I’ve been all over the world, spreading the gospel of the machine. From Yaounde, Cameroon, to Stockholm, Sweden. From Unilag to Seattle. AbuaD to Paris. Stages to schools. Another number one mixtape. Another number one single. Bagged 2 more Headies Awards. All of this is possible through the grace of God & all of your support. Thank you for the patience,” he wrote.
He ended the message with the big reveal: “I am happy to announce that on September 19th, you will see the first look of the machine. They cannot stop us. The machine is finally here.”
This latest update comes after months of speculation about the project. Earlier this year, Odumodublvck dropped The Machine Is Coming, a mixtape that built momentum for the new release. His breakthrough 2023 project, Eziokwu, earned him widespread recognition and two Headies awards, cementing his place as one of Nigeria’s most exciting rap voices.
The new album is expected to feature collaborations with global stars including Davido, Skepta, and Stormzy, details that have only heightened fans’ anticipation.
With just two days until the first glimpse, excitement is at an all-time high. For Odumodublvck, who has spent the year moving from local stages to international arenas, The Machine Is Here marks the next step in his fast-rising career.
