logo, I have done a couple of designs for the label before I
got signed.” Adekunle revealed.
“When I dropped Sade, Olamide apparently liked it, and the
whole YBNL crew liked it. So he called me and said he really
liked my sound, and didn’t want it to change, that he would
love to work with me. “I didn’t see it coming, I didn’t lobby
for it, I didn’t do anything, I didn’t think about it at all.”

They both take listeners through a tale of romance, which
has been instrumental in the success of both singles. In
contrast, the rest of the YBNL artistes are pacy rappers. The
singer believes that there is a connection between his genre
and indigenous rap
“I guess it just works because I am indigenous too as well, I
speak Yoruba, English, pidgin…and then my sound identifies
with the street somehow. So there’s a sync somehow.
