Effortlessly gliding across genres, Brymo’s ‘Yellow’ is a masterful reminder of the singer-songwriter’s range. For an artist from Nigeria, a country overflowing with people obsessed with faux humility, Brymo has never been afraid to publicly declare just how great he thinks he is. While that level of self-assuredness tends to rub people the wrong way, […]
2019 was the first year in almost a decade that Olamide didn’t drop a project. He chose, instead, to focus his energy on pushing Fireboy DML — the breakout star we first met on the rapper’s 2018 mixtape. Now, with Fireboy’s position in the afropop scene solidified, Olamide has come through with a new EP, […]
About 7 years ago, BlackMagic landed his breakout hit with “Repete” — a song that announced him as a star to watch. While he followed up that timeless gem with a slew of other solid songs, none of them ever caught on quite like they deserved to. With the start of this brand new decade, […]
In the past couple of months, Naira Marley has managed to inexplicably garner a cult following. Following his 2017 breakout single, “Issa Goal”, an EFCC arrest and a slew of divisive hit songs (“Soapy”, “Pxta”), the rapper has been on a mission to become the new king of the streets, and he may very well […]
Show Dem Camp’s duality has always been the group’s strongest asset. They can go from light and breezy (Palm Wine Music 2) to pointed and impactful (These Buhari Times) without sacrificing quality or entertainment value, and their latest release, The Palmwine Express, is no exception. On the 12-track project, the third entry into their Palmwine […]
After collaborating with Beyoncé on “Brown Skin Girl”, the biggest hit off her Grammy-nominated soundtrack album, The Lion King: The Gift, it seems Wizkid picked up the singer’s affinity for surprise releases: He just unexpectedly dropped a new EP, SoundMan Vol.1. While this isn’t the project fans were expecting from him — he’s been teasing […]
Over a year ago, Ajebutter22 and BOJ teamed up for the incredible Make E No Cause Fight — a joint EP that easily ranks as the best thing either of them has ever put out. Now, they’ve reunited for a Falz-assisted follow-up, Make E No Cause Fight 2. On the 5-track project, Ajebutter22 and BOJ, […]
Last year, Olamide dropped YBNL Mafia Family, an overstuffed and ultimately forgettable compilation project, which had only one bright spot: Fireboy DML. “Jealous”, the 23-year-old’s solo effort on the mixtape, deservedly turned him into a breakout star. Since the success of that song, Fireboy has pushed two more fantastic singles, “What If I Say” and […]
It’s been seven years since Davido dropped his debut album, Omo Baba Olowo, and a lot has changed for him since then. Not only has he found love and immense global success, but he’s also much more musically adept, and all that is clear on his sophomore album, A Good Time. On the 17-track LP, […]
The Lost Okoroshi, a 94-minutes film, snagged its audience from the first scene, which was reminiscent of childhood nightmares. The lead character, Raymond Obinwa (played by Seun Ajayi) ran from a masquerade, also referred to as ojuju, in his dream; his wife, Nneka Obinwa (Judith Audu) would have none of it, advising him to seek […]
Sarz and WurlD first teased their immense chemistry on 2018 highlight, “TROBUL”. They then quickly reaffirmed it with another seemingly effortless collab, “EGO”. Now, they’ve utilised it to full effect on their joint EP, I LOVE GIRLS WITH TROBUL. Sarz has always been widely regarded as Nigeria’s greatest producer, and if we are judging by […]
For the past year, Zlatan has been one of Nigeria’s most essential stars, collaborating with a lot of the biggest names in afropop — from Burna Boy to Davido — and helping them elevate their respective tracks. Now, he’s finally dropped his debut LP, Zanku, which alternates between expected and pleasantly surprising. Although Zanku’s lead […]
Last year, Blaqbonez made a grand statement with his debut album, Bad Boy Blaq — an accomplished body of work that announced him as one to watch. Since then, his star has risen considerably, and on his latest project, Mr. Boombastic, he proves that so has his resolve. Like on the EP’s lone single, “Shut […]
Teni was undoubtedly 2018’s biggest breakout star. With the success of “Askamaya”, “Case” and “Uyo Meyo”, she confidently announced herself as afropop’s newest hitmaker, and on her debut body of work, Billionaire, she reiterates that fact. The six-track EP, which surprisingly only contains one previously released single (the solid title track), is a collection of […]
“Happily ever after” is a concept that’s reserved for fairytales, generic romantic comedies and frustratingly optimistic love songs. In the real world, relationships are messy, and they almost always end in heartbreak. It’s this painful reality that Lucid, Asa’s triumphant fourth studio album, captures brilliantly. The first two singles, “The Beginning” and “Good Thing” were […]
Like most young people, Mavin Records’ fast-rising wunderkind, Rema is a big fan of superheroes. The 19-year-old’s first two projects have songs named after Marvel favourites, Iron Man and Spider-Man. He even has a giant teddy bear he recently dubbed his sidekick. With his latest release, Bad Commando – his third body of work this […]
