The most prolific artist in Nigeria has to be, at the very least, among the top five if we take a proper look. The boss of YBNL has released his 15th body of work in 14 years, averaging at least one album every year. If that isn’t impressive, I honestly don’t know what is.
His new self-titled album, released on Thursday, has been generating outstanding reviews both online and offline. The 17-track album features guest appearances from Wizkid, Asake, Shiv Vibes, Young John, BGE, and DJ Spino, along with some international collaborators, including hip-hop legend Dr. Dre and pop sensation Khan.
While this artist is clearly leading the charge in terms of both volume and quality of work, Grammy-winning Burna Boy is also ensuring his name is prominently noted. The self-proclaimed African Giant has officially announced July 11th as the release date for his highly anticipated eighth album, "No Sign of Weakness." This announcement was accompanied by a striking album cover that reflects his signature blend of pride and afrofuturism. While the full track details remain under wraps, Burna Boy also revealed the start date for the first leg of his tour, which will kick off on the same day as the album release in Portimao, Portugal.
On that same day, his compatriot Davido will be hosting his Five Alive party in Los Angeles as he launches the North American leg of his new album tour. These artists are truly keeping the entire music world engaged and on their toes. Davido's American tour will feature support from Vonyi, Morave, and Odum Black. This announcement comes after he withdrew from an iconic concert with 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige, citing misalignments regarding event execution—specifically, the elements necessary to maintain the integrity of his performance—as the reason for his pull-out.
