Writing
about someone who started from nothing and becomes the talk of the town puts
smile on my face and serves me motivation to believe monetization of one’s God
given talents is possible with hard work.
In the year 2010, the death of the perceived most
loved indigenous artist ‘Dagrin ‘brought
Olamide Adedeji to the limelight who
most believes schemed to fill the vacuum created by Dagrin, Olamide has
continuously dispute that fact but we all know that the late Dagrin is an
Artist to reckon with when it come to Indigenous
Music and if refer to as the founding
father of Indigenous lyrical Music I believed one make no mistake, RIP to the
Great ‘Dagrin’ .
Olamide Adedeji is a Multi-talented artist, he
started from Bariga, Lagos, he records mostly in Yoruba and Pigin English, he
debut studio album Rapsodi and that was the only album he recorded under the
Coded Tunes. The follow-up album, was released under his Recond label ‘Yahoo Boy No laptop’(YBNL),
Olamide popularly called Olamide BAddo was
born on the 15th of March, 1989. In the year 2000 he decided to
pursue a career in Music, when asked why music, he said I found out I was
highly gifted in it so I had to explore it, it talked rashly ’ it’s my life, my
hustle, my world”.
BAddo studied at Tai Solarin
University of Education, he was in 300l mass communication as at the time he
become celebrity, but my finding does not indicate if he complete his study.
In 2010 Fresh face Olamide Performed
on Arguably the Biggest Stage in the Nigeria Scene; ‘The Hip Hop World Awards”
and of cause he murdered them.
He became well-known in 2011 with the release of the popular single “ Eni Duro” then he was signed into ID Cabasa’s Tunes record label and was managed by Toni Payne (9ice’s ex wife) you see why talent supersede luck, where are the former Olamide boss today, they are still alive but Baddo ‘s talent was a lot bigger than what they can manage.
Baddo’s road to fame is one for the history books, this time few years ago he was a regular kid growing up in the Heart of Lagos Ghetto; Bariga. Even though Olamide insists he is still that Bariga boy a lot has changed in his life. Today he is a Recording Artiste, Record Label owner that has won many Awards to his name.
