Nigerian mainstream music has evolved over the years with stars releasing projects that reflect the soundscape and the respective states of their career.
2024 got off to a slow start before picking up later in the first quarter with stars like Ayra Starr, Tems, Victony, and Simi all dropping albums.
With the first half of the year done, the second half of the year is set to be very busy for Nigerian music with several stars expected to release new projects.
Opening up the second half of the year is Rema who is set to drop his sophomore album 'He Is' and Chike who will be dropping his third album 'Son of Chike' in July.
Asake recently announced that he would be going on a summer "Lungu Boy" tour set to start in July 2024. The tour will be preceded by the release of the 'Lungu Boy' album which will be Asake's third album in 3 years.
Fireboy is set to release his fourth album which has so far been preceded by the release of singles like 'Everyday' and 'Obaasima'. Oxlade has announced that he will be releasing his debut album titled 'Oxlade From Africa' in 2024. The album was earlier scheduled for March 2024 before being moved back.
