Picture this: You’re in primary school, the teacher just stepped out, and the class is already buzzing with noise. Then one kid stands on his chair, his “gees” creates beats by striking their pens on their desks and then he starts rapping—lyrics flowing effortlessly, other classmates hyping him up.
That kid? He grew up to be the Afro-fusion sensation we now call Sickoboy!
Sickoboy has evolved from a classroom freestyler to an artist with bangers that make you feel things. Whether you want to dance, vibe, or get in your feelings, he’s got a song for you.
His latest track, Butty, is already shaking things up, and if you haven’t heard it yet—what are you waiting for? He has been on a wild journey, and trust me—you need to hear his story.
From Class Freestyles to Studio Hits
Sickoboy whose birth name is Raphael Mcmiller Ajike and hails from Ohafia, Abia State, was born and raised in Lagos, first in Bariga before moving to Ikorodu at age seven. If you know these places, you know they come with two things: the hustle and the vibes.
“Even though I got really soaked in studying and schooling and now live a better life, I still feel that connection to both the pain and the happiness that the street brings,” he says.
That mix of struggle and celebration is what gives his music an edge. It’s raw, real, and relatable.
“Youngralph Mcmiller? Who Be That?”
Back in 2015, before the world knew Sickoboy, he recorded his first-ever song: Lasgidi Sumtin under the name Youngralph Mcmiller (yes, that was his stage name).
For a while, he dropped music under that name, but by 2019, he knew it was time for a change. Enter: Sickoboy—a name that felt more like him.
Then in 2020, he made things official with his first project as Sickoboy—Cruise Ship EP.
And from that point on, there was no looking back.
Sickoboy’s Music: Soundtracks for Every Mood
Sickoboy’s music? A perfect cocktail of Afro-fusion, rap, and pure vibes. Think J. Cole meets Burna Boy at a Lagos party!
He doesn’t just make songs—he creates experiences.
Fun Fact: He fell in love with music because of J. Cole and Drake and because he loved listening to them back then in primary school, he slowly started to tap into their music. But later on, he transitioned to Afro-fusion.
Here’s a breakdown of his standout tracks and why you need them in your life:
🎵 CALL ME – The Love Song That Came from His Imagination
You know how some artists write songs about love because they’re really in love? Not Sickoboy. When he wrote Call Me, he wasn’t even in love! He literally built an entire romance in his head just to make the song feel real. And guess what? It worked.
It’s a track that wraps you in emotions and makes you remember the love you shared with your ex and feel like texting him/her (don’t do it, though).
🎵 &s Chronicles EP – A Deep Dive into His Growth
Dropped in November 2023, this project proved one thing: Sickoboy is a storyteller. From lyrics to production, everything about this EP showed his growth and versatility.
🎵 BUTTY – The Street Anthem That’s Taking Over
Released February 19, 2025, Butty, isn’t just another Afro-fusion hit—it’s a trenches anthem. It’s the story of someone who came from nothing but refused to stay there.
With a contagious beat and lyrics that hit home, Butty is the kind of song that makes you want to grind harder, move smarter, and show the world you’re no longer where you used to be. It’s motivation wrapped in melody, a perfect example of how Sickoboy blends street wisdom with feel-good vibes.
If Butty were a person, it would be that one friend who grew up in the trenches but never let the struggle define them—the one who hustled, leveled up, and now walks into any room with confidence. They still remember their roots, but now they move differently, dress differently, and carry themselves like they were always destined for greatness.
And the best part? There’s a whole Butty Challenge going on! If you’ve got moves (or just vibes), now’s the time to join in.
