The compelling single Modupe—which in Yoruba means “I give thanks”—provides a musical preview of the song’s core.

#4. Tekno – Peace of Mind
Tekno, a musician and record producer from Nigeria, has made a comeback to the music industry with Peace of Mind. The song, which is backed by a Tekno-directed music video, emphasizes the importance of inner serenity and the artist’s focus on attaining calm. Tekno’s second official single of the year, following his earlier release of the politically engaged Freetown in January, is Peace of Mind. The artist’s most recent work explores the underappreciated aspect of peace of mind with lyrics like “Cos peace of mind is underrated o, that’s why I’m patient o, cos I know my time is now.” Tekno emphasizes the value of putting one’s mental health first and being patient in the quest of success and personal improvement with these lines.
#5. Mohbad ft. Zlatan – Account Balance
Mohbad, a gifted rapper and singer, has solidified himself as one of the well-liked characters in the world of street pop thanks to his distinctive baritone-tinged voice, unorthodox vocal nuances, and engaging narratives that chronicle triumph over adversity. In his eagerly awaited sophomore EP, properly titled Blessed, Mohbad fully embraces his position as one of street pop’s leading ambassadors, showing appreciation to his devoted fans while issuing a caution to his skeptics. With eight songs totaling, including Account Balance with Zlatan, the brilliant musician deftly departs from the slyly amusing character.
