In the year 2011, the world saw his debut album under the Coded Tunes label, Rapsodi. It is also worth noting that Olamide raps mostly in his native language, Yoruba. After that, the money and fame came pouring. In 2012, he created his own music label called Yahoo Boy No Label (YBNL) Nation. Currently, there are four music artists under this label: Olamide himself, Davolee, DJ Enimoney and Temmie Ovwasa.
