Update: Check out our favorite Nigerian tracks of 2021<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of 2021, the Nigerian music scene continued to revel in projects like “Highway and KPK<\/a>” which dropped at the end of last year. Peruzzi\u2019s “Southy Love<\/a>“and Fireboy\u2019s “Champion<\/a>” from his 2020 opus Apollo<\/em> were also revitalized with stunning visuals to keep fans busy. Nonetheless, 2021 has already brought an impressive slew of compilation worthy music onto the Nigerian scene. Normally a slow season for Nigerian music, serving as a gap between hits from the year’s end and the beginning of summer, 2021 has proved anything but. After a year under the mask of a pandemic and a series of historic protests that delayed many releases, artists are jumping on the blank slate of 2021 for a fresh start. It started with Ayra Starr<\/a>\u2019s eponymous EP and Joeboy<\/a>\u2019s much anticipated debut album, Somewhere Between Beauty and Magic. <\/em>Then came Johnny Drille<\/a> and Ric Hassani to trumpet the gospel of Nigerian music which transcends afrobeats\/afropop. Ajebo Hustlers<\/a> have also joined in with “Pronto”, maintaining a long uncharted venture of becoming a frontline duo in the Nigerian music industry. Finally, legendary afrobeats producer Don Jazzy makes a laudable rebound with “Bounce”, and Niniola <\/a>unearthed her roots with “6th Heaven”, an R&B masterpiece. 2021 is poised to be a great year for Nigerian music, hitting the gates at  full throttle.
