With his blend of street lingo and Yoruba melodies, rapper and singer MohBad nimbly bridges the gap between indigenous rap and Afropop. Capturing tales of life in his hood of Ikorodu, the artist born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba emits an infectious optimism through his baritone-tinged lyrics. After the release of the slow-burning “Komajensun” alongside Naira Marley, his breakout moment came in the form of Rexxie's viral “Kpk (Ko Por Ke).” A sole EP—aptly titled Light—houses the Marlian Records signee's fascinating balance of the introspective, hedonistic, aspirational, and societal. He details his upward trajectory on the sprightly “Feel Good” and serves a pop cut alongside Davido with “Once Debe,” while “Backside” and “Marlians Anthem” underscore Mohbad's signature upbeat style.
