In this episode of Fully Loaded, hosts Boots & Melz sit down with Odio and his team to react to his music, with Odio present to witness their unfiltered feedback. The hosts start off by asking about the inspiration behind his name, with Odio explaining that it’s derived from his first name, Audi, combined with the first letter of his last name.
From the jump, Boots & Melz make it clear they’ll be brutally honest—if the music is trash, they’ll call it out. However, as soon as the song starts playing, their skepticism turns into genuine surprise. The track immediately grabs their attention, with its smooth blend of Afrobeat, hip-hop, and drill elements. They comment on its infectious vibe, appreciating how it has both a rhythm they can dance to and a groove that feels intimate and sensual. They jokingly debate whether to get sturdy or grind to the track, emphasizing how dynamic it sounds.
As the song progresses, they point out how African artists have been dominating the soundscape lately, and they praise Odio’s unique fusion of genres, dubbing it “Afro-drill” and “Afro-sexy.” They admit they were initially looking for flaws in the song but end up giving it high praise, rewinding certain sections to take in the full experience.
Visually, they commend the simplicity of the music video, appreciating how Odio didn’t overdo it with unnecessary elements. Instead, the video keeps things clean, focusing on aesthetics and storytelling without trying too hard to sell a certain lifestyle. The hosts also highlight how Odio chose to feature Black women, which they appreciate, playfully mentioning how the video is “strictly for us.”
When asked about his inspirations, Odio cites artists like Bryson Tiller and Tory Lanez, which Boots & Melz say they can definitely hear in his sound. They’re surprised to learn that he only started making music during the pandemic, initially just hanging around the studio before diving into recording himself. They relate to the experience of watching friends in the studio and secretly thinking they could do better.
As they near the end of the track, the hosts continue hyping up the song, claiming even their parents would bump it. They commend Odio’s lyricism, noting that he’s actually talking his talk rather than mumbling, which is something they respect. They joke about trying to find something to hate on but struggle to pinpoint any flaws. The only critique they can come up with? A plant in the video that they jokingly insist he should remove.
Before wrapping up, they analyze the song’s theme, discussing whether it’s a single man’s anthem or something for those in relationships. While one host argues it’s meant for someone who enjoys the dating scene, the other points out its heartfelt lyrics, which suggest a deeper emotional connection. They then take a moment to advocate for bringing back love in music, calling out the toxic mindset in modern relationships.
By the end of the episode, it’s clear that Odio’s track has won them over. Despite their initial skepticism, they admit that the song is undeniably fire, and they encourage their viewers to weigh in with their own opinions.
