Speaking on her new EP, Yemi Alade said, “I’m an African ‘Baddie’, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have emotions. Every woman can relate to all the moods in this EP. One minute, we are begging a man not to hurt us again and the next we’re in front of the mirror reminding ourselves who is really in control.”

On the EP, Yemi Alade guides fans through different moods, while also navigating between new genres with ease; Dancehall, Highlife, and Afrobeats are all represented in her latest body of work.

“This new EP is special to me” she said. “Everyone will be able to resonate with different songs to put them in various moods. There is a song for every person on ‘African Baddie. The vibe flows into one another and I am happy to take my audience on a musical journey with each song”.

Songs on the EP include ‘Pounds & Dollars’ featuring Phyno, ‘Overload’, ‘Jo Jo’ featuring Bisa Kdei, ‘Baddie’, ‘Ikebe’ featuring Zlatan, ‘DjeDje’ featuring Bramsito, ‘Get Down’ featuring British-Nigerian singer, Lemar, ‘My Man’ (French Version) featuring Joe Dwẻt File, ‘Bubble It’ featuring Spice and ‘Begging’.

Check out the list of Nigerian songs that certainly ruled the airwaves in September 2022.

The Nigerian music scene has been very active this month of September. Asake, a YBNL star, released his debut album, “Mr Money With The Vibe,” and Wizkid made a comeback two years after his previous song.

The “Palm Wine Music Vol. 3” album by Show Dem Camp was released alongside new singles from Ayra Starr, Lojay, Young Jonn, and other artists.

• Nigerian songs that everyone loves no matter who they stan

Quickly, we delve into Mp3bullet.ng’s top pick for September 2022.

Wizkid – Bad To Me

A year after his last release, Wizkid has resumed releasing new music. For “Bad To Me,” he collaborates with his producer friend P2J.

For this song, Wizkid engages Amapiano influences to guide him but it doesn’t hinder him from being the smooth-talking loverboy he always is in his songs.

However, this isn’t the first time he singing on an Amapiano beat but it is certainly the first he decided to go that route on his own solo song.

Asake – Joha

Without a question, Asake is one of the top performers right now. Even with the many accolades, the YBNl signee has acquired in less than a year, he decided to top it up with an album and off the project is one fan favourite, “Joha“. The song also has its own dance routine and is currently a favourite on Tik-Tok.

Ayra Starr – Rush

Ayra Starr is proving to be more than the Gen Z diva many people are boxing her into. “Rush” which is her first single for the year is unquestionably one of the best Nigerian songs to be released this month.

The song has the potential to be another street fave as the lyrics are literally catchy, quotable and motivational- every ingredient necessary to cook a sweet soup for the streets.

Bella Shmurda ft Omah Lay- Philo

Bella Shmurda and Omah Lay collaborated on the song “Philo,” which will appear on his upcoming album. “Philo” is full of energy and slangs. This single is coming after the success of Bella Shmurda’s last single “New Born Fela”.

Lojay- Leader

After attracting attention in 2021 with the Sarz-produced “LVN N ATTN” project, Lojay is back on the music scene ready to use his newly found fame to his advantage and he does it with the beautiful tune, “Leader“.

On the P.Priime produced beat, the singer’s evolution is noticeable.

Flavour- My Sweetie

Flavour has demonstrated that he is not about to slow down anytime soon after his great performance at the just concluded Headies Award. Another love song that Flavour, who is well recognised for being brilliant at them, has just released is called My Sweetie.

Mohbad – Peace

Peace is Mohbad’s second single of the year; it has straightforward lyrics that are relatable to the common Nigerian.

Yemi Alade – Bubble It ft Spice

For “Bubble It,” Yemi Alade collaborated with Spice, a dancehall queen from Jamaica. On YouTube, the video has already received over 4.7 million views.

Asake- Organise

I know, there are two Asake’s songs on this list, but this is what happens when you have a great album with replay value. Asake is still dominating airwaves with his “MMWTV” album and “Organise” song is one of the project’s best offerings.

Iyanya – One Side

Since his return to the mainstream, Iyanya has been dishing out amazing songs for a while now. First it was “Call” with Ayra Starr, followed by “Like” with Davido and Kizz Daniel and now he is entertaining fans with “One Side“.
