Someone took me back to the good old days when s particular Nigerian artiste, Olamide popularly known as Baddoo was reigning and within a short period of time, he bumped into the Lagos music insustry.
He doesn’t sing that much even though he does that at times. He raps and that’s his major.
Then, there were no too many artistes in Nigeria so he was able to penetrate into the music without too much stress.
I guess the fact that he raps so good got people amazed since we didn’t have so many rappers back then. I don’t know what rap music may be like outside Nigeria but here, let’s have some rap songs of Olamide.
Fun fact, Olamide Baddoo paved way for every other Nigerian rapper in Nigeria and when you hear a rap song from Nigeria, just know that Olamide Baddoo inspired the rap song.
Goons Mi
Olamide released “Goons Mi” on November 14, 2014. The rap song will be eleven years old soon. It’s a single track which wasn’t released under any album.
There’s something we call “lamba or street OT” here in Nigeria. They are merely punch lines that burst everybody’s head whenever it is being said. Olamide has too many of them and that’s why he was able to entertain everyone including the elites and those who are not.

The good thing about Olamide Baddoo was that he was able to entertain everyone. A lot of people then said that his rap songs are only for those who are not learned but in this rap song, he came out fully giving us some punch lines with some correct English and roghg pronunciation.
This boosted the number of fans Olamide Baddoo had. I was never a fan but after I saw how much hardwork he is putting into his craft and how well he rapped, I like him. He’s so good.

Most people say that Olamide made this song those in an occultic group. The story behind this song is that he was being invited into an occultic group bug he came out loud to say that he’s not going to be a member. Instead of him to give them a response, he made it a song. I guess so many artistes do that.
This is one of my most loved rap songs on my list. There was a crazy rhythm at the middle of the song. Ig was really good.

This took me back to the time when Olamide had just released this song. It scattered everywhere. Then, if you hadn’t heard this rap song, it felt like you’re not a part of this world. It was so hyped but the hype was worth it.
He was having a beef with my favorite artiste then but after hearing this song, I had no choice than to be a fan of Olamide Baddoo again. It’s a great one and I liked it.
How are his rap songs? Do you think they are songs you can vibe to?
