This write-up entails the list of Artistes that we hope to see greater things from in year 2022. The artistes on the list is limited to artistes who leveled up their game in 2021 and may not include the names of some Established artistes.
WIZKID
The first artiste on our list is the “Made in Lagos” crooner who after the release of his record breaking album, got his first grammy last year and also got two nominations for his Album and the single “Essence”. Wizkid who hopes to bag both awards and he steps into 2022 with his brand at par with most international artistes. We hope for a Grammy win and more hit from the Starboy.
BURNA BOY
The African giant needs no introduction since he started 2021 having 2 Grammy nominations which he won one for his “Twice as tall” Album. He also got a Grammy nomination in the year as he had a successful year with hits and international features.
FIREBOY
Fireboy who has become a household name in the African Entertainment Scene with two successful albums to his name, enjoyed the spotlight in 2021 but his biggest hit came around the end of the year. He bagged his first International feature with none other than Ed sheeran on his “Peru” single. With the song and video gaining listeners and viewers, we hope to see more moves like that in 2022.
BUJU
Buju, who has had more features than most artiste in Nigeria is the fourth on our list. Hs was featured by a lot of artistes in 2021 and he delivered everytime. He crowned the year by releasing his first album. He also featured on Wizkid’s Made in Lagos Deluxe album. We hope to see more work and leveling up from Buju in 2022
CKay
2021 has been an amazing year for Ckay both in the Nigerian and International Music scene. In 2021, he became one of the few Nigerian artistes to have a song featured on Billboard Top 100 as his hit single “Love Nwantiti” was featured. This opened up doors to bigger moves for the Brand. We hope to see bigger moves from him in 2022
