Today, on October 27, 2023, the Nigerian music industry experiences a lively day as several Nigerian artists release their music projects. The ability for a Nigerian artist to have their music streamed today largely depends on luck, preference, and likability. Sorry, not sorry, but there’s a slim chance anyone might give your artist’s music a listen. This is because some of Nigeria’s finest artists have decided to dedicate today to the release of their projects. For Mr. Eazi, it marks the debut of his album, while Blaqbonez continues to balance out his trifecta project with “Emeka Must Shine.”
Furthermore, with artists like Minz, Goodgirl LA, Skales, and others releasing new singles today, let’s explore five notable albums that dropped today, which we strongly recommend you listen to.
1. Mr. Eazi – “The Evil Genius” Finally, Mr. Eazi bestows his debut album upon us, titled “Evil Genius.” After treating us with his groovy EP projects like “Accra to Lagos,” the artist has now delivered his first full-length project. It’s a moment of bragging rights for Mr. Eazi’s fans, as they can dive into over ten tracks from the artist, a generous offering to compensate for his continuous presence in the music scene.
2. Blaqbonez – “Emeka Must Shine” Consistency and dedication define Blaqbonez, as he presents his trifecta album, “Emeka Must Shine.” Following the release of “Young Preacher” last year and “Sex Over Love” in 2021, the artist now completes the trio with this latest album. An interesting tidbit – Blaqbonez takes us on an eastern musical journey with one of the tracks on the album, promising an experience filled with perfection and enjoyment. But we won’t reveal more than that – you’ll have to discover the rest for yourself!
3. Basketmouth – “Uburu” Who would have guessed that Basketmouth could add “artist” to his impressive list of titles alongside comedian and actor? In case you’re not aware, the comedian/actor was once a rapper, way back when. Following the debut of his project, “Yabasi,” in 2020 and the release of “Horoscopes,” his sophomore effort last year, the multi-talented artist now brings us “Uburu.” What’s particularly reassuring is his deliberate selection of artists and the rhythmic flow of each song. Basketmouth oozes confidence, proving himself to be a bundle of talent and more.
4. Rema – “Ravage EP” While technically an EP, Rema’s “Ravage EP” is a strong contender for chart-topping positions in the Nigerian music scene. Released in the early hours of Friday, Rema is celebrated for his musical craftsmanship and his ability to seamlessly blend his sound into various styles. The “Ravage EP” brilliantly showcases the intense energy of Rema and the melodious allure of his vocals. Just as we had no doubts when he first dropped “Dumebi,” there’s every reason to anticipate greatness with “Ravage.”
5. Reminisce – “Alaye Toh Se Gogo” This one is tailored for lovers of the Ibile sound, as Reminisce’s music often suggests. If your admiration for Reminisce is already mind-blowing, a listen to “Alaye Toh Se Gogo” might send your adoration to new heights. While Reminisce may not be at the peak of the music scene, he consistently delivers exceptional performances whenever the opportunity arises.
