introducing the hottest new kid on da block - Olamide

The latest addition under the management wing of Toni Payne of Toni Payne Concepts is Coded Tunes artist “Olamide” who is known for his versatile rap style, free spirited delivery and creative lyrical ability.


Born Olamide Adedeji on the 15 of March, in Bariga Lagos, Olamide fell in love with Rap music as early his primary school days. Soon, he discovered he also had the talent to Rap and began to nurture that talent in the year 2000. Since then he has featured on songs like “I'm grateful” by Maiojoe, “Take me there” by Jahbless and he has dropped
some nostalgic lines on the collaborative track between him, Zara, and Adol called “Naija Hail”

Olamide who is currently working on his first album which will feature artists like Adol and Whizkid  is under the musical care of Coded Tunes boss  ID Cabasa. Being a versatile artist, he not only raps, but also writes for different genres of music such as Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae and Pop. Although his mentor is Jay-Z,  he also appreciates music from the likes of Ludacris, Birdman, and Lil Wayne.

Olamide has performed live on big stages all over Nigeria and he is most definitely a street favorite. It is safe to say, the streets love him and he loves them back.  His music is gaining serious mass appeal and his rap style is being enjoyed by many.

 “Olamide is here, just like the first day of the year.” This is how this young talent introduces himself in his hit track “Eni duro” and
without a doubt, just like the first day of the year he is going to be
seen for a very long time.
