#3. Odumodublvck ft. Blaqbonez and Lekaa Beats – Technician
After a successful year that has since catapulted him to success, Odumodublvck wastes no time in returning to the center stage with a brand new single, Technician. The infectious track features the witty wordplay of Blaqbonez and the production masterclass of Lekaa Beats. Lekaa Beats lays the foundation for Technician with a hypnotic amapiano groove, punctuated by the deep boom of log drums. This instrumental provides the perfect canvas for Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez to show what they’re made of.

Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez trade verses, each boasting about their prowess in captivating women. Their lyrics overflow with playful confidence, detailing how their skills leave women enamored and eager for their attention.
#4. Joeboy ft. Qing Madi – Adenuga
Joeboy continues to solidify his position as a force in the Nigerian music industry. Following a strong start to 2024, Joeboy isn’t resting on his laurels. He’s back with not just one, but two brand new singles: the infectious Adenuga and the amapiano-infused Concerning. Adenuga, co-produced by Prestig and Joeboy himself, exhibits his smooth vocals. Here, the singer plays the role of the smitten lover, showering his affection on his love interest. He even throws in a playful brag, referencing Nigerian business mogul Mike Adenuga, to assure her he can provide for her in style. Qing Madi, a gifted singer in her own right, adds another layer of sweetness to the track with her vocals.
On Concerning, produced by Swankil, Joeboy takes a similar approach. He seamlessly blends his familiar flow with the pulsating amapiano beat, creating a captivating and energetic track. These two new singles serve as a delicious appetizer for Joeboy’s forthcoming project.
#5. BNXN and Ruger – Ilashe
The past few months have been quite a whirlwind for Afrobeats fans. Ruger and Bnxn have gone from rivals to full-fledged collaborators, and their recently released joint EP, RnB, is an attestation to this exciting shift. RnB, with its clever play on their initials, “Ruger and Bnxn,” embodies the fusion of their distinct styles. On songs like Ilashe, with no extra guest appearance, the spotlight is firmly on the duo. The head-to-head approach sees their individual talents shine. The result is a cohesive song that showcases their artistic chemistry and will be a major one on your playlists for a long time.
