After weeks of anticipation, Bhad Boi OML has officially released his highly anticipated EP, “Kaizen,” today, Friday, October 7, 2025, now available across all streaming platforms.
Following the success of his breakout single, “Wasiu Ayinde,” which captivated listeners with its soulful delivery and street authenticity, OML’s new project marks the next phase of his evolution: sonically daring, emotionally grounded, and unmistakably original.
“Kaizen”, a Japanese term meaning continuous improvement, embodies the artist’s philosophy of growth, discipline, and self-refinement. Each track is layered with his signature blend of street storytelling, introspection, and experimentation, revealing an artist unafraid to stretch his boundaries.
Fans got a taste of the fresh project with the earlier release of “Oversability,” his first venture into what he proudly calls “Apala Pop.” The record seamlessly fuses traditional Apala rhythms with contemporary Afrobeats and street melodies, creating a creative intersection that introduces listeners to a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The song’s viral appeal and cultural resonance set the tone for the rest of the EP, which continues to explore themes of resilience, ambition, and identity.
Speaking on the release, Bhad Boi OML shared,
“Kaizen represents growth, discipline, and learning. It’s about staying true to where I come from while pushing the limits of what street music can be.”
Across its tracks, Kaizen captures the heartbeat of modern Nigerian youth culture, confident, expressive, and deeply rooted in heritage. From reflective moments to high-energy anthems, the project showcases OML’s versatility and his ability to translate lived experience into sound that connects across class and culture.
With Kaizen, Bhad Boi OML cements his place as one of the most promising voices shaping the new wave of Nigerian street music. His ability to merge indigenous rhythms with global sensibilities sets him apart as both a visionary and a vessel of tradition , a true disciple of Afrobeats’ evolving story.
