Ada is a 2018 single from DJ Ecool featuring Davido, produced by Fresh VDM — the in-house producer at Davido Music Worldwide at the time. DJ Ecool, whose real name is Emmanuel Ojo, is Davido's personal DJ and has been part of the DMW setup since the early days. Ada was his first major solo release of the year and Davido coming through on it was a show of loyalty to someone who had been in the background making the live shows work for years.
The song dropped in January 2018 just before the DMW label single Mind came out later that same month, making it a busy start to the year for everyone on the roster. Ada is not a complicated record — it is a feel-good Afrobeats track about a woman who has caught someone's attention, with Davido doing what he does best on that kind of mid-tempo groove. The fact that it came from Davido's DJ rather than a standalone outside collaboration gave it a family energy that fans of the DMW setup appreciated.

Musa Keys – UnavailableDJ Ecool would later appear in the Mind video as well, cementing his on-screen presence as part of the DMW visual brand rather than just the man behind the decks at shows. Ada is a piece of that 2018 DMW era where the label was at peak momentum with Davido, Mayorkun, Dremo and a freshly signed Peruzzi all active at the same time.
Rating: 7/10.
