WYN by ORODE Features Great Adamz in New Afrobeats Hit

WYN by ORODE is here — and it might just be his most confident release yet. The UK-based Nigerian artist ORODE (formerly known as Kidace6) has officially dropped his second Afrobeats single, “WYN,” a vibrant collaboration with fellow Afro-fusion act and label head Great Adamz. Released globally on May 16, 2025, under a one-track agreement between Bear Gang Music and Radikal Records, the track is a fresh reminder of ORODE’s evolving sound and fearless creativity.

What Does “WYN” Mean?

The title “WYN” stands for “Want You Not”, hinting at the song’s emotional core — the release of WYN by ORODE is more than just a song drop. It’s also a unique business arrangement: a one-track collaboration between Bear Gang Music, owned by Great Adamz, and Radikal Records, which supports ORODE’s emerging career. This limited partnership format emphasizes the value of quality over quantity — a focused artistic expression rather than a bulk release.

Akpevwe Henry Orode — now known simply as ORODE — began turning heads with his 2024 single “Mercy,” which marked his official Afrobeats debut. But long before that, he was writing, producing, and experimenting with various genres under the alias Kidace6.

A proud son of Delta State, Nigeria, now living in the UK, ORODE has been intentionally crafting a sound that blends diaspora energy with hometown sincerity. “Mercy” introduced audiences to his lyrical vulnerability. Now, “WYN” reveals his flair for collaborative range and thematic strength.

With each new drop, he’s narrowing the gap between potential and arrival.

Great Adamz: A Feature with Weight

Known for his growing catalog of melodic Afrobeats records, Great Adamz is no stranger to bold, experimental collaborations. His presence on WYN by ORODE adds star power and legitimacy, not just musically but also in terms of industry structure — after all, he’s not just a featured artist; he’s the label head behind Bear Gang Music.

His contribution to “WYN” goes beyond a guest verse. It represents support for a younger artist making his way in the space, and that synergy is evident throughout the track. It’s a reminder of how intentional features — done right — can elevate a song into something timeless.

“WYN” might just be the latest step in what appears to be a long game. With only two official Afrobeats singles under his belt, ORODE is clearly taking a quality-first approach to his catalog. Whether this builds toward a larger body of work — such as an EP or album — remains to be seen.

But one thing is certain: ORODE has arrived with purpose. And if “WYN” is any indication of what’s to come, the future is both promising and unpredictable — in the best way possible.

From its sleek production to its deliberate feature and confident delivery, WYN by ORODE does more than just join the 2025 Afrobeats conversation — it pushes it forward.

This is a record made with intent. One that signals the maturity of an artist who understands his voice, values his creative independence, and knows how to craft moments that resonate beyond the studio.

For ORODE, “WYN” is not just a song. It’s a statement — of style, of vision, and of undeniable growth.
