Kubolor is track 4 on ODUMODUBLVCK's EZIOKWU mixtape, released October 6, 2023 under NATIVE Records and Def Jam Recordings. Produced by JohnWav and Trill Xoe, the 2 minute 9 second track features Amaarae — the Ghanaian-American singer and songwriter who built her reputation through the Angel EP and the record Off The Record, and has become one of the most internationally recognised voices in Afropop's alternative lane. She is a multiple award winner with nominations across African and global music awards, though she has not won a Grammy — the original post's "Grammy-winning" description is inaccurate.

Pa Salieu Ft. Odumodublvck – Big SmileKubolor in Ghanaian pidgin refers to someone who is carefree and free-spirited — someone who moves how they want without answering to anyone. For a record on EZIOKWU, an album defined by ODUMODUBLVCK's confidence in his own path, the title is in perfect character. Amaarae's voice brings a completely different energy to ODUMODUBLVCK's rap delivery — her melodic softness against his deep, deliberate flow creates one of the album's most sonically interesting tracks. EZIOKWU has 279 million total Audiomack plays at ODUMODUBLVCK's account level, and Kubolor has 5.14 million individual plays on the platform. Both artists had just signed major international deals around the same time — ODUMODUBLVCK to Def Jam, Amaarae to Interscope — which made the collaboration feel genuinely significant beyond just two good artists getting together.
Rating: 8.5/10.
