    With three quarters of the year left in what has so far been an enthralling 2022, there are still more fascinating initiatives to look forward to.

    The Nigerian music business has witnessed album releases by Adekunle Gold, Rema, BOJ, Santi, Obong Jayar, and Victony, among many others, in the first quarter of 2022.

    While the artists aren’t done promoting their projects just yet, their colleagues who haven’t yet released albums are putting the finishing touches on their albums, which are slated to be released in the second and third quarters of 2022.

    Release Date: May 30, 2022

    After nearly a decade in the game, indigenous rapper and street pop king Naira Marley is preparing to release his debut album.

    The album’s title, “God’s Timing Is the Best,” pretty well sums up Naira Marley’s feelings on the album’s timing and substance. Naira, who is known for his hit-making abilities and propensity for aggressively filthy and obscene music, has already lived up to his reputation with the album’s four lead singles.

    The Marlian President is aware of his audience and does not hesitate to provide what they desire. Fans shouldn’t expect anything different from “GTTB.”

    Release Date: 9th June 2022

    Falz is a multi-talented Afrobeat artist with an appealing charisma that extends beyond music. Falz has established himself as a unique artist whose work reflects the maker since his arrival on the scene.

    His capacity to create music that transcends gender, demographics and social classes distinguishes him.

    Falz never fails to deliver, whether he’s producing owambe jams, using seductive wordplay loaded with sexual innuendos, or delivering a passionate performance that portrays Nigeria’s social-cultural realities.

    Falz is scheduled to release his fifth studio album, “Bahd,” two years after his thought-provoking and award-winning record “Moral Instruction.”

    Falz, also known as Falz d Bahd Guy, has named his new album “Bahd,” implying that he wants to show off another facet of his multi-talented self.

    The album is expected to feature Timaya, Boy Spyce, and BNXN among others.

    Wizkid’s previous album, “Made In Lagos (MIL),” was a huge success, and he now has the enviable but difficult task of making a better album than “MIL.”

    Fireboy has two tremendously successful albums, a worldwide smash, and a solid reputation as a music star after only three years in the industry.

    With his third album, “Playboy,” due out in the third quarter of 2022, Fireboy is expected to cement his place as a generational phenomenon.

    Following the success of “LGT” and “Apollo,” Fireboy plans to complete the trifecta with “Playboy,” and with his ability, nothing should be able to stop him.

    BNXN

    Release Date: TBA

    BNXN aka BUJU is one of the most sought-after voices in Afrobeat. BNXN has been featured on several tracks and albums in the last year, displaying a captivating showcase of vocals and depth.

    His debut EP, “Sorry I’m Late,” attracted mixed reviews as BNXN during his several appearances as a featured artist has established high expectations.

    The EP didn’t do what it set out to do for BNXN, and fans began to doubt the burgeoning star’s capacity to pull it off on her own.

    The solution to this question is BNXN’s debut album, “Bad Since 97,” which will be published in the third quarter of 2022. BNXN will welcome the chance to show his prowess on an unrestricted platform like an LP.
