History
editBiesloaded was formed in 2013 by founders Adewumi Adeyanju and Ojimi Ayomide, with the sole aim of promoting street music culture and its lingo. In 2021, Adewumi released "Ma Gbo" a street music featuring Payan Boi and DJ Shizzy.[5] The street lingo "Watimagbo" which means "You should have heard" was first heard on the song and was later reused by Davido on Adekunle Gold song "High".[5]
Biesloaded has been credited for promoting MohBad before he achieved fame.[6] It released "Blogger Blogger" featuring Kabex and MohBad, days after MohBad signed with Naira Marley's Marlian Records.[7][8] Its platform has featured Rexxie, Zlatan, Davido, Naira Marley, Seyi Vibez, Asake, Burna Boy, and dancer Poco Lee.[9] As of 20 May 2024, it has reached 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
