With several predictions here and there , one
thing is certain for the Nigerian music industry
in 2018 – it will be an interesting year for both
mega and emerging artistes .

Although the previous didn't ’ t see the breakthrough of any artist in particular , 2018 promises to have loads of them and we are banking on these to steal the spotlight this year.

Based on their level of performances , acceptance and achievements , below is a list
of artistes to watch in 2018 ;


1) Nonso Amadi

The Covenant University graduate came through
with the self - produced hit single “ Tonight ” . The
song gathered over a million YouTube views
and his follow up songs such as Radio , Long
Live the Queen and other singles have received
positive reviews from fans across the world . He
released an EP titled WAR with Odunsi The
Engine in 2017 and scored a few other
collaborations. He is definitely an act to watch
out for .


2) Yovi


The LRR signee is another massive talent to
watch out for in 2018. Signed by Reminisce in
2017, he dropped the mild hit Amen and
followed up with the remix featuring Mayorkun
and Lil Kesh . His second single, All For You
was also well received . We await new
materials from the talented dude this year.


3) Peruzzi


The For Your Pocket crooner was picked up by
Davido ’ s DMW in 2017 after being credited for
penning down lyrics to Davido ’ s mega smash
hit “ FALL ” and “ FIA ” . The remix to For Your
Pocket featuring Davido is gaining momentum
on airwaves nationwide .


4) Dapo Turbuna



‘Eyan le blow any goddamn time ’, with songs
like Nothing and African Lady and a befitting
remix to Nothing featuring YCEE and Olamide ,
Dapo Turbuna seems not to be in the industry
to play. Armed with a wonderful voice and the
Tinny Entertainment resources, he is definitely
an act to watch out for in 2018 .


5) Bella Alubo


Also signed to Tinny Entertainment , Bella Alubo
is one diva to watch out for . With a unique
voice , appealing looks and excellent lyrics and
delivery as evidenced on Radio featuring YCEE
and Kokoka feat Tinny mafia, it is crystal clear
that Tiwa Savage and the rest should watch
their back in 2018 .


6) Davolee


After his verse on the smash hit , Pepper Dem
featuring his label boss , Olamide , Davolee
dropped Festival Bar, Cirocing and Oya Gbeff
which all achieved moderate success . However ,
we expect more from the YBNL signee as he
takes over the Yoruba rap scene in 2018 .


7)Zlatan Ibile


One of the biggest single of 2017 was crafted
by this wonderful guy. The rapper featured
YBNL boss , Olamide to give us the club
banger , My Body and the song became one of
the songs that aided the spread of the shaku
shaku dance. Definitely one act to watch out for
in 2018 .


Demmie Vee


Love Me Tender crooner and close associate of
Oladips, Demmie Vee was one of the new acts
that did exploits in 2017. With tracks like
Awesome God ft TuBaba, Love Me Tender
remix ft 9ice and Figure 8 which all achieved
moderate success, we are in for a brilliant
2018 from the deep voice and melodious demmie vee


9) Ckay


After the ground breaking podcast which had
MI, Loose Kaynon and Osagie Alogie where
Osagie asked who the f*** was Ckay , Ckay
trended for some time in the entertainment
circles and capitalize on the opportunity to
drop an EP which was well received . With
songs like Nkechi, Gaddemnit ft Dremo,
Girlfriend ft Dice Ailes and many more, it’ s safe
to say that we would actually get to know Ckay
better in 2018 .


10) Teni the Entertainer


Following the viral video of her cover to one of
Chief Osadebe songs , Teni went ahead to
release Fargin produced by Mystro. With song
writing credits to Davido ’ s hit single “ Like
That ” and another buzzing song titled Pareke ,
the singer who is related to Afro house Niniola
and also an affiliate of Shizzi has all it takes to
rule the airwaves come 2018.


11) Junior Boy


Following the success of his single Irapada
featuring 9ice and a shout out he got in Small
Doctor’s mega smash hit Penalty , Junior Boy
followed up with My Prayer and Bombay ft
CDQ . However we expect more from the Junior
Boy as he attempts to join his senior boys in
the music industry .


Worthy mentions


1) Ahmed


After coming on stage at the Wizkid’ s concert
held on December 24 TH of 2017 and dropping
heavy bars in the Yoruba language , he
immediately got signed to Starboy
entertainment and with a 10 million pledge to
help his career , tell me how this is not an act
to watch out for in 2018


2) Destiny Boy


After the release of the viral fuji cover of
Davido ’ s IF, Destiny boy went ahead to release
covers for YCEE ’ s Juice , Olamide ’ s WO ,
Mayorkun’ s Mama , Humblesmith’ s Lagos and
his official single, Omo Better . We expect more
from him in 2018 .
