About the Song
“OG” is a 2020 rap single by Nigerian artist Yomi Blaze, released on February 14, 2020. Produced by Kezbeatzpro, the record gives Yomi Blaze room to lean heavily into his lyrical ability, combining English and Yoruba with punchlines, wordplay and a confident delivery.
The song arrived as Yomi Blaze’s first official single of 2020, following his appearance on “Ika” with Olamide through the YBNL Mafia Family project.
The Sound
“OG” is firmly rooted in Nigerian hip-hop and street rap, with a production style that gives the rapper space to focus on bars rather than relying heavily on melodic hooks.
Yomi Blaze switches naturally between Yoruba and English throughout the record, using changes in language, rhythm and delivery to strengthen his punchlines. The performance has a competitive edge, reflecting the traditional battle-rap energy of an artist establishing his lyrical credentials.
What the Song Is About
The title “OG”, commonly used to describe someone regarded as experienced, respected or highly established, becomes the central idea of the record. Yomi Blaze uses the concept to question the credibility of people who claim legendary status without the achievements or respect he associates with the title.
The song therefore focuses on authenticity, recognition, money, achievement and self-confidence. Instead of simply declaring himself an exceptional rapper, Yomi Blaze builds his case through verses filled with boasts, sharp observations and competitive energy.
“OG” also showcases the rapper’s ability to move comfortably between Yoruba street expressions and English-language rap, reinforcing the identity that had already attracted attention to him before his YBNL association. Yomi Blaze was introduced to YBNL in 2018 after his freestyle videos gained attention online.
