Photos: Olamide-Rapper’s artwork for planned album “Eyan Mayweather” was shot in his childhood streets

Olamide is set to release his 5 solo studio album, “Eyan Mayweather, which he announced on tuesday November 2015 with a cover art and tracklist unveiled.

More details about the creation of the cover art have been revealed. The art shows Olamide taking centre stage at a gathering of people from the street.


He appears coloured and contrasts sharply against the general black and white colour of the image.

For the album cover, Olamide went back to where he began his career in rap; a neighbourhood in Bariga, Lagos.

“Eyan Mayweather” will contain 20 tracks, with four singles from the project already released.



They include ‘Bobo’, ‘Matters Arising’, ‘Melo melo’, and ‘Lagos Boys’. Interestingly there will be no collaboration on the new album.

Production of the work will come chiefly from in- house music maker, Pheelz , with support from BBanks, ID Cabasa, and Young Jonn. “Eyan Mayweather” will be the second album released by Olamide this year. In April 2015, the rapper and Phyno put out a collaborative joint album “2 Kings”. Other albums by Olamide include “Rapsodi” (2011), “YBNL” (2012),

“Baddest Guy Ever Liveth” (2013), “Street OT” (2014).
