Just a few weeks ago, Yo Mariyos dropped two new singles  “Geter Gba (ገጠር ግባ)” and “Kedame (ቅዳሜ)” and the response from listeners has been glowing. Each track carries that raw energy of Ethiopian hip-hop but also strikes a personal chord: “Geter Gba” brings an assertive street-vibe, while “Kedame” flows with a more reflective, weekend-freedom kind of spirit. Social media posts show fans sharing clips of dancing, lip-syncing and nodding along indicating the songs are resonating with the crowd.

What sets Yo Mariyos apart is his unique vocal delivery and cadence. He doesn’t lean on mimicry of established artists; instead his style fuses sharp Amharic lyrics with rhythmic hooks that stick. That originality is getting him noticed not just as another newcomer but as someone with real potential. Industry watchers are pointing out that he’s showing early signs of having a “signature sound” that could scale.

The fact that both songs dropped so close together also helps build momentum giving listeners more than just one hit-single moment. In short: Yo Mariyos is riding a wave of goodwill, and if he keeps up this quality pace, he could mark himself as one of the up-and-coming voices in Ethiopian hip-hop.
