Social media is literally changing lives in every aspect these days, and that includes the Naija music industry. We’ve seen musicians get discovered via Twitter/InstaGram, get signed, and then blow up afterwards. However, we haven’t seen this!
Barely a week ago, a video some young kid – Picazo – rapping to Chinko Ekun’s emerging hit “Able God” did rounds across social media. That instantly prompted wide-spread interest in the prodigious talent.
Fast forward to this new week, Olamide has officially signed Picazo AND his friend, the equally talented Yomi Blaze to YBNL!

@yomiblaze_ika ? welcome to YBNL ? never walk alone ? ishè Liverpool FC
Without wasting ANY time whatsoever, Olamide took them straight into the studio with resident YBNL producer, Pheelz and his other 2018 signings, Limerick and Davolee. Hours later, we have a sick cypher titled “Juju, Guns & Roses ?“.
Today, we witness the start of something truly special.
God bless Olamide, God bless the YBNL Mafia!
