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). Olamide recently won the Best Male Artiste In West Africa at the 2015 All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA). The YBNL CEO who has maintained his consistency this year with his continuous dominance of West African pop culture via his singles and performances faced stiff opposition from a number of talents. Olamide won the award for his song ‘Bobo’, over Wizkid’s ‘Ojuelegba’, Sarkodie’s ‘Adonai (Remix), Flavour’s ‘Golibe’, and Davido’s ‘Fans mi’.
