Check out the five strongest and popular group
YBNL is one of the biggest record label in Nigeria owned by music-man Olamide. The name YBNL is a slang in the hood meaning "Yahoo Boy No Laptop" which is basically about a young boy making good money with no illegal business. Olamide Started off with coded tunes and after a few hits he moved on to start his own record label and he has so far signed 5 artiste. I think it is a brave move and it says a lot of things about how much love is in the hood because all the artiste he signed are boys from Bariga where he grew up. Check out the names of the entire members of YBNL which includes 6 artiste including Olamide, the official Dj, official producer, official stylist and Manager. YBNL seems to be one of the most organised music group around.
