Brymo

Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ (; born Olawale Ibrahim Ashimi; 9 May 1986), better known as Brymo, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, sonic artist, actor and author. Born and raised in Okokomaiko, he started recording music in 1999 while in secondary school. Brymo's debut album, Brymstone (2007), was supported by the single "Shawty". He signed a recording contract with music label Chocolate City in 2010, but was accused of breaching his contract nearly three years later. Brymo's second studio album, The Son of a Kapenta, was released in 2012 and yielded the singles "Ara", "Good Morning", and "Go Hard".

Following his controversial exit from Chocolate City in 2013, Brymo abandoned his career as a mainstream artist and embraced Nigeria's alternative music space. Between 2013 and 2018, he released four critically acclaimed albums: Merchants, Dealers & Slaves (2013), Tabula Rasa (2014), Klĭtôrĭs (2016) and Oṣó (2018). Music critics lauded Merchants, Dealers & Slaves and Tabula Rasa as "masterpieces". Brymo teamed up with three members of Skata Vibration to form A.A.A, an alternative rock band whose eponymous debut Extended Play (EP) was released in August 2019. In 2020, he released the hedonistic album Yellow and the five-track EP Libel. The former is a departure from the dark themes of his sixth studio album Oṣó, while the latter addressed the rape allegations that surfaced on Twitter that year.
