Rising Nigerian rapper and singer-songwriter Famous Pluto has officially stepped into the spotlight with the release of his debut EP, Uzama The 3rd, a bold and rhythmic celebration of his artistry and cultural roots.
The five-track project, now available on all major streaming platforms, marks Pluto’s most ambitious release yet. Backed by a star-studded production lineup including Busy Pluto, Torye, King Ice, and JAZZMAN BEATS, the EP blends Benin-inspired cadences with pulsating beats and street-hardened flows that reflect both confidence and charisma.
Featuring guest appearances from Shallipopi, Zerrydl, and Jeriq, Uzama The 3rd positions Pluto among the new vanguard of artists redefining Nigeria’s street-pop and Afrofusion landscape. The opening track Ewo, which unites Shallipopi and Zerrydl, kicks things off with a high-energy, club-ready bounce, while Osusu, featuring Jeriq, delivers a grittier, narrative-driven performance that highlights Pluto’s street sensibilities.

Gbese and Runs Am continue the sonic journey with swagger and melody, rooted in Pluto’s Benin heritage while appealing to a broader, trend-conscious audience. Each track offers a different layer of his versatility, underscoring his ability to balance traditional influence with viral appeal.
The EP arrives on the heels of Pluto’s earlier successes—most notably Na Scra, which caught the attention of Wizkid, and his collaborative 2024 single Feel D Mood with Outsyd Eddie and Tega Boi DC. With Uzama The 3rd, he builds on this momentum, embracing the identity of the “Uzama” trio—a reference to himself, Shallipopi, and Zerrydl—as symbolic rulers of a rising movement in street-inspired Afrobeats.
