Balloranking

Nigerian afrobeats singer and producer Balloranking, whose real name is Balogun Olamilekan, was born on November 20, 2000 in Surulere, Lagos. He began his career at the age of seventeen, while still working as a graphic designer and singing with his boss. He quickly developed his own style and, signed to the Dvpper label, recorded the Zero Panic (2021) and Trench Kid (2022) EPs, which were a huge hit on social networks. A few months later, the Trench Kid album was released, featuring collaborations with Bella Shmurda, Seyi Vibez, S1mba, Majeeed and Bad Boy Timz. Highly productive, Balloranking collaborated with several artists and in 2023 released two versions of the album Ghetto Gospel, one of which was remixed and subtitled Ghetto Gospel (Sped Up). Rappers L.A.X., 1da Banton and Dablixx Oshaa feature on the list of contributors. After the Ghetto Vibrations EP (2023), the Zero Panic, Vol. 2 album followed in 2024, with contributions from Runtown and Timaya and the US Afrobeats chart hits "Hustler" (#36), "Elijah " (#37) and "7.5G " (#28). Prolific, Balloranking continues with the singles "Rich Way" (2024) and the Lifestyle EP (2025), featuring a duet with Richie Campbell and two new chart hits, "Life" (no. 27) and "Level Up" (no. 42).
