Biography

A Nigerian musician and rapper known for his wry, but wholesome lyrics and laconic delivery, Ajebutter22 (born Akitoye Balogun) first appeared on the scene in 2009 alongside his sister Taymi (aka Socialajebutterfly) in the eclectic hip-hop, electro-funk, and soul duo Soyinka’s Afro. He embarked on a successful solo career in the mid-2010s. Rapping in English, Yoruba, and Pidgin, Balogun went widescreen with the single "Senrenre," a Studio Magic production that appeared on his 2014 chart-topping mixtape Anytime Soon. 2017's What Happens in Lagos saw Balogun shift his lyrical focus to the day-to-day triumphs and struggles of his hometown, while 2018's Make E No Cause Fight and 2019's Make E No Cause Fight 2 were straight-up collaborations with Nigerian singer Boj and producer Falz. In 2020 Balogun teamed up with Nigerian singer, songwriter, and pianist Mayorkun for the single "Ginger You." ~ James Christopher Monger
