For a long time, Nigeria has produced talented musicians for the global arena; superstars are nothing new to the country.

On the other hand, very few contemporary musicians have purposefully drawn inspiration from our history. The fact that interpolations and samples are seen as clumsy strategies makes viewers detest them even more.
Along with representing a wide spectrum of subcultures and lifestyles, our carefully curated list of fast rising Nigerian musicians also features a wide range of tones in their songs, making them sure to influence and educate the nation’s radio throughout the year.
This is a list of the top Nigerian musicians to look out for in 2023 (in a disorganized manner).
- Odumodublvck

Among all the musicians in Nigeria during the past year, Odumodublvck has had the biggest cultural influence. Whether he was working on multiple projects to break into the Abuja scene or providing the music for the most popular events in the country, the moment begs for his name. As he gains more and more listeners along the way, he’s getting closer to being a true phenomenon.
Through developing a loyal fan base and altering the musical landscape with every new release, the Nigerian rapper made a name for himself in the industry this year. We investigate the factors that currently define Odumodublvck as a guy.
One amazing legacy that Odumodublvck is gradually leaving behind. Through songs like “Declan Rice” and “Dog Eat Dog II,” the rapper introduces the music industry to his creative and singing abilities.
- Majeed

Majeed makes an attempt to demonstrate his versatility by sharing his experiences with love and loss. The EP’s first song, Yawa No Dey End, showcases his pop-heavy beat, while How I Care’s alternative-style groove showcases his sobriety.
Thanks to multiple industry endorsements from big names like Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy, and others, as well as a Joeboy remix of the EP’s lead song, Majeed is already well on his way to becoming a household name.
Majeed, storm the music scene is a breath of fresh air and a model for the advancement of the music industry.
Majeed is among the best Nigerian musicians to look out for in 2023, and his rise only serves to highlight the exciting time Nigerian music is going through.
- Boy Spyce

Anyone acquainted with the language temperament of Nigerian pop music, which is occasionally marked by word aridity, would naturally conclude that Boy Spyce is definitely distinctive.
His melodies are usually accompanied by gentle, calming sounds, but the party-hardened crowd will find the feast of percussion in the song Wayo, where he courtes a particular cunning Philomena, particularly enticing.
But releasing party hits every two weeks doesn’t seem to be his forte—at least not at the moment. He shares some similarities with both Rema and Brymo. He has some of the poetics of the former and some of the commercial appeal of the latter.
- Khaid

Khaid has everything it takes to become a celebrity because to his amazing ability to fuse Afropop and emo-trap. At the age of 17, his melodious TikTok freestyles made him the featured artist of Neville Records, an internet comedy founded by Sydney Talker.
Khaid is proficient on hip-hop trap beats as well as Afro-fusion and Afrobeats sounds. Even though the right balance hasn’t yet been achieved exactly, Khaid has shown that he is capable of doing both and will eventually produce if he keeps working hard. His Trapsoul song “With You” has amassed approximately four million views on YouTube and over five million Spotify streams thus far.
- Bayanni

Not only does Bayanni have a fascinating past, but his recently released self-titled debut also demonstrates his voice skills and storytelling abilities. Throughout the four tracks on the EP, the meek singer veers between everyday and deep topics of life and passionate love.
Thanks to his tenacity and determination, Bayanni, the upcoming Mavin Records sensation, shot to popularity from behind a church drum kit.
The official YouTube video for Bayanni’s song “Tata Ta” has received over a million views, and the song has been listened to by over four million people on Spotify.
