YBNL front man and rap star, Olamide has released a new album, Eyan MayWeather.
The highly anticipated album, released on Monday 23 November, is Olamide’s fifth in five years and second this year. In April, Olamide and Phyno put out a collaborative album “2 Kings”.
‘Eyan MayWeather’ is a 21-track project containing his numerous hits including ‘Lagos Boy’, ‘Bobo’, ‘Melo Melo’, ‘Jega’, ‘Matter Arising’ and album cover title, ‘Eyan MayWeather’.
It was mainly produced by Mr Pheelz, with support from ID Cabasa, Young John and Major Banks.
Interestingly, the new album has received huge acceptance as it has climbed to number two on iTunes barely two hours after its release.
