Olushola Ajose, better known by his stage name Afrikan Boy (born 28 March 1989) is a Nigerian-born grime artist from the Woolwich district of London. He went viral with a track entitled "One day I went to Lidl" recorded at That SP Studios. He made a guest appearance on the track "Hussel" from the M.I.A. album Kala, and is one of the initial artists M.I.A. wanted signed to her label N.E.E.T. Recordings (then called Zig-Zag) in 2007. A remix of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" was uploaded onto her MySpace featuring Afrikan Boy and tourmate Rye Rye. Afrikan Boy has never appeared on pirate radio, a performance opportunity common in the grime genre. He studied for a Psychology degree at Brunel University.
