The Olamide effect

With over one billion global streams, Olamide is one of Nigeria’s biggest and most successful stars to arrive out of Africa. Emerging equally at home emoting over buoyant afrobeats rhythms, Olamide optimistically rhymes over a pulsing trap beat. In fact, the trailblazing talent is known for his multilingual-style tracks that showcase his artistic abilities in English, Pidgin and Yoruba. In doing so, he has established essential afrobeats classics – from “Wo!” and “Motigbana”, to “Fada Fada” featuring Phyno, and “Kana” featuring Wizkid.

Not letting up, Olamide has also founded YBNL Nation, which he has since built into one of Nigeria’s most influential and recognized musical labels to date. Since forming the imprint more than a decade ago, he has helped launch the careers of AfroBeats royalty. Such as Fireboy DML, Asake, and Adekunle Gold, just to mention a few. Nonetheless, global tastemakers and prominent publications including Billboard, Pitchfork, Forbes, Rolling Stone, and The GRAMMYs have also endorsed the African music superstar.
