Lagos gets a musical celebration as Patoranking teams up with Nigerian rap star Olamide on “Welcome To Lagos,” an energetic Afropop and street-hop collaboration inspired by the city’s vibrant lifestyle. The song captures the culture, entertainment, nightlife and ambition that make Lagos one of Nigeria’s most exciting destinations.
Released on November 10, 2026, through Amari Musiq, the single marks the fourth major release from Patoranking ahead of his forthcoming fifth studio album. It follows his recent tracks, including “No Jonze,” “African Soldier” featuring Buju Banton, and “Shake That” featuring Ruger.
Production seemed handled by longtime collaborator C-tea Beat, who brings together infectious melodies, rolling basslines and lively percussion to create a dance-ready instrumental. Patoranking leads with a catchy, chant-driven hook that sets the tone for the song, welcoming listeners into the lively atmosphere and glamorous experiences associated with Nigeria’s commercial and entertainment capital.
The collaboration also brings together Patoranking’s Afro-dancehall sound and Olamide’s established presence in Nigerian hip-hop, giving the record a strong blend of contemporary African music styles.
With its upbeat energy and Lagos-inspired theme, “Welcome To Lagos” adds another exciting entry to Patoranking’s run of releases ahead of his next album.
