After weeks of anticipation, rising music sensation Bhad Boi OML has released his much-awaited EP, ‘Kaizen,’ now available on all major streaming platforms.
The project follows the success of his breakout single, ‘Wasiu Ayinde,’ which resonated with audiences for its soulful delivery and raw street authenticity. With ‘Kaizen,’ OML signals the next chapter in his artistic journey, one marked by sonic experimentation, emotional depth, and unfiltered originality.
Titled after the Japanese concept for continuous improvement, ‘Kaizen’ mirrors the artist’s philosophy of growth, discipline, and self-mastery. Each track reflects OML’s evolution, combining street-inspired narratives with introspection and innovative soundscapes.
Listeners first caught a glimpse of this new direction through ‘Oversability,’ the standout single that introduced what OML describes as “Apala Pop” — a fusion of traditional Apala rhythms, Afrobeats, and street influences. The record’s viral momentum and cultural texture have already positioned it as a defining moment for the artist
“‘Kaizen’ represents growth, discipline, and learning,” OML said. “It’s about staying true to where I come from while pushing the limits of what street music can be.”
Across its songs, ‘Kaizen’ captures the rhythm of contemporary Nigerian youth — confident, expressive, and rooted in identity. From reflective cuts to energetic street anthems, OML’s versatility shines through, offering a sound that bridges heritage with modern flair.
With this release, OML reinforces his standing as one of the leading voices redefining Nigerian street music. His seamless blend of indigenous rhythm and global resonance places him among the new generation carrying Afrobeats into its next era.
