ShowDemCamp – Clone Wars V the Algorithm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erstFSZ5l5c
The best duo out of Nigeria right now! Show Dem Camp have slowly cemented their name in the Nigerian music industry with their unbelievable chemistry, catchy lines, smooth beats, and knack for features. The Duo has released the 5th project in their ‘Clone Wars’ series and it features a mix of established artists and upcoming acts. Reminisce, Ladipoe, Mojo, Shalom Dubas, Jesse Jagz, Tomi Thomas, Tomi Owo, Ogranya, Moss, and Alpha Ojini all bless the project with verses.
Omah Lay – Understand
Arguably 2020’s break-out star, Omah Lay is back with his first single of 2021. This sound is a different vibe from his usual. Someone might have broken the man’s heart as he’s reflective of his stance on romance and gets very emotional in his lyrics. Yet he still manages to package it in a melody that gets your head bumping.

The Cavemen – Selense
The Cavemen couldn’t have expected their 2020 album ‘ROOTS’. Before the project, the duo was more famous for providing backup vocals and instrumentals for upcoming acts. Their decision to be on the front page and put out their own work was one of the best decisions they could have made. Selense is their first single of 2021.

Boj ft Zamir & Amaarae – Money & Laughter
When you have two champions of alté music on a track then you can expect something special. Boj has really mastered this niche that he and his peers have cornered for a few years now, and Amaarae is simply killing everything she’s featured on.
