Bolaji Odojukan, formally known as BOJ, is an English-Nigerian singer and songwriter. He is one-third of the Nigerian music group DRB LasGidi, formed with his school friends TeeZee and Fresh L. BOJ is known as the pioneer of Alté. This genre combines Afrobeats, dancehall, reggae, hip hop, and alternative R&B elements. The term was coined in the 2010s by DRB LasGidi and was first heard on BOJ's 2014 single "Paper.” According to Red Bull, TeeZee explained the term, "Alté is Nigerian lingo for 'alternative,’ which means freedom of expression essentially through any medium. It has been going on since the 1960s, as Nigerians always experimented with music. It became recognized as a style or genre from about 2012 upwards, and it broke into the mainstream in 2016 with the rise of its new stars."
