About Olamide
Olamide is the king of Nigerian street-pop, a prolific rapper and singer who raps largely in Yoruba and built a sound rooted in Lagos street culture. Beyond his own long run of hits, his YBNL label became a star factory, launching Asake, Fireboy DML, and others. Few artists have shaped the indigenous, homegrown side of modern Nigerian music more.
