Rapping both in Yoruba and English mixed with pidgin English. He dropped his first album ‘Rapsodi’ and then the following year. Badoo dropped the game changing album ‘YBNL’ which most people still consider as his best album of all. In one of his songs he said ‘after my first album, ‘won ro pe won ni ri mo’ meaning ‘A lot of people think he’ll be gone after his first album’ He kept dropping hot tunes from ‘Durosoke’ to ‘Badoo Love and loads of others.
