Review: Harteez’s ‘Milestone EP’ A Journey of Struggle, Aspiration and Resilience


Harteez, the rising star in the Nigerian music scene, has dropped a compelling 3-track EP titled “Milestone,” offering listeners an intimate glimpse into his journey of struggle, aspiration, and resilience. Each track on the EP is a testament to Harteez’s artistry and determination to make it in the industry.

The EP opens with “Make it out,” featuring Folapondis, where Harteez lays bare his struggles and desires to overcome obstacles. Through heartfelt lyrics, he expresses a deep yearning for divine intervention, resonating with anyone who has faced adversity on their path to success.

Transitioning seamlessly to “Baba God” featuring Lil Frosh, Harteez continues to paint a vivid picture of his journey, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and seizing opportunities. The track’s infectious beat and Lil Frosh’s dynamic contribution elevate the narrative, reinforcing Harteez’s aspiration to rise above his circumstances and achieve greatness.

Closing the EP with “No tata 4 yan yan” featuring Portable, Harteez delivers a powerful anthem of ambition and empowerment. With Portable’s catchy hook driving the message home, Harteez boldly declares his desire for financial abundance and security, refusing to settle for anything less than success.

Throughout “Milestone,” Harteez’s lyrical prowess shines brightly, supported by the impeccable production. The EP’s thematic consistency and collaborative efforts with featured artists create a cohesive listening experience that leaves a lasting impression on audiences.


However, In evaluating Harteez’s latest EP, “Milestone,” it’s imperative to acknowledge its strengths while also considering areas for potential growth. While the EP undeniably showcases Harteez’s lyrical prowess and artistic vision, its reliance on featuring other artists throughout the three tracks presents a notable limitation. While collaborations can inject freshness and diversity into a project, they somewhat obscure a clear assessment of Harteez’s individual strengths and artistic identity. A fair critique lies in the absence of a solo track on the EP, which could have provided listeners with a more direct insight into Harteez’s capabilities as a standalone artist.

Despite these considerations, “Milestone” remains a compelling body of work that underscores Harteez’s potential as a rising star in the Nigerian music scene. “Milestone” is not just a collection of songs; it’s a journey—a journey of struggle, aspiration, and resilience. Harteez’s raw honesty and unwavering determination shine through in every track, making this EP a must-listen for anyone who appreciates authentic storytelling. With “Milestone,” Harteez has undoubtedly cemented his place as one of Nigeria’s most promising musical talents, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what he’ll accomplish next. Moving forward, a balance between collaborative efforts and solo compositions could further showcase Harteez’s versatility and solidify his place as a standout talent in the industry.

His music career started on a good note in 2018 as lots of Nigerian music lovers instantly recognized his exceptional pen game and vocal dexterity.

For BeeJayLee, talent and hardwork are two things responsible for his ongoing successful music career run and his energy keeps elevating as he is looking to break bigger boundaries, gain more recognition while moving up the ladder with his outstanding talent.

No doubt, “This Kind Love” by BeeJay Lee is just a taste of what’s to come from this exceptional talent that has been incredibly slept on in Nigeria’s music industry. Having a quick glimpse into his discography so far and his soon-to-be released single, it will be easier to agree that BeeJay Lee is definitely an incredible talent to watch out for in the Nigerian music industry.

Growing up in the South-South part of Nigeria, precisely Delta State, Emmanuel Ike Akpeki is one of the country’s youngsters doing wonders and melting heart with Afrobeat music.

As a teenager in a church musical group, Kaysix Brown found love in music, developed strong passion for it and nurtured his talent to become a fully bred artiste with huge potential to become a global star.

His style of music can easily be recognised as Afro-pop, a sub-genre of Afrobeat with distinct sound that blends with catchy melodies and lyrics that speaks from his heart while connecting to many minds.

Kicking-off his professional music journey in 2016, Kaysix brown has done a lot to prove himself worthy of a big spot in the ever-growing Nigerian music industry. His journey to stardom has produced with outstanding singles like; Local man, Cover Me, Higher to mention but few. These music projects beamed the light on Kaysix Brown’s talent.

Meanwhile, Kaysix Brown is set to release another exciting new single to further solidify his position as one of the rising stars in Nigerian music industry. His forthcoming single titled “Pressure (Ti Wa)” features Rayson and set to be released on Friday 28th of April.

With his unique style, creative instinct and undeniable talent, Kaysix Brown is fast becoming a force to reckon with in the Nigerian music scene.

Christened Omonojo Clinton Omoniyi and widely recognised by his stage name Neyoog, he is one of the few young Nigerian artistes armed with the intent of rewriting the history of Afrobeats as the genre continue to evolve.

The talented singer born in Lagos, by Ondo Parents, hit the music industry few years ago with a genre of his own, Afro-Ilaje which is a sub-genre of Afro-fusion and all under the heavens of Afro-beats. Not many artistes is courageous enough to choose uniqueness in a music industry overly proliferated but Neyoog did and he is standing tall against all odds.

His name got registered in the wall of radically talented young artistes to look out for in 2020 when he released “Sho Fo”, an Afro-Ilaje tune that got people asking who is this guy? “Sho Fo” came with an indescribable melody, sweet and tuneful enough to elicit a “whao!” exclamation in the mouth of many, endless replays on devices and multiple airplays on radio stations nationwide. Listening to Neyoog’s music breathes relief, induces body and soul with soothing vibe.

Surprisingly, Neyoog as an artiste has over the years exhibited hardwork beyond his music skills. His consistency and zeal in the quest to always deliver exciting tune for fans is unmatched. There has never been a dull moment for fans and music lovers following up with his activities in the music space.

Just 3months into 2023, Neyoog, the pioneer of Afro-Ilaje is all set to hit the ground running as he recently released a brand new song titled “Reply”, most definitely a song for people who still have their heads wrapped around the question of how much longer can this guy stay consistent with delivery of good music in the Afro-Ilaje style?

With “Reply” Neyoog has yet again proven himself to be a king in his lane. It’s amazing how he perfectly put together a lyrical composition that portrays a near-ending love which requires serious messages of re-assurance to make things right. Talking about flexing muscles with musical pen game with deep but melodious vocal delivery on a smooth running beat, he basically murdered this song.

Worthy of looking out for and staying glued to is Neyoog, a multi-talented singer, performer and songwriter with pleasant personality. No doubt, he is musically on an exciting journey and it’s going to be a jolly good ride.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has extended the deadline for the use of the old notes till February 10.

CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, announced the extension in a statement signed on Sunday.

He explained that the apex bank has sought approval from President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the deadline for the use of the old notes by 10 days.

“Based on the foregoing, we have sought and obtained Mr President’s approval for the following: A 10-day extension of the deadline from January 31 to February 10 to allow for the collection of more old notes legitimately held by Nigerians,” the statement read.

“A 7-day grace period, beginning from February 10 to February 17, in compliance with Sections 20(3) and 22 of the CBN Act allowing Nigerians to deposit their old notes at the CBN after the February deadline when the old currency would have lost its Legal Tender Status.”

The CBN Governor also solicited the cooperation of all Nigerians in ensuring a hitch-free process for the implementation of the policy.

Before the apex bank extended the use of the naira note, many Nigerians experienced difficulty in lodging their old banknotes.

The scramble by many Nigerians to meet the initial January 31 deadline has been chaotic as many of them flood banking halls with huge cash in old notes to exchange them with new ones.

Others are seen in long queues at the few ATM points having the new naira notes in different parts of the country to have access.

The naira redesign was greeted by criticism by some Nigerians, including the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the policy was intended to scuttle his presidential ambition.
