It’s New Music Friday, May 30, 2025, and Nigeria’s finest are dropping gems that’ll light up your weekend. The streets are buzzing, and the vibes are unmatched—let’s get into the heat coming out today!
While Bloody Civilian makes a return after a long hiatus, Obongjayar’s PARADISE NOW is a whole mood. This album blends Afrobeat with soulful, electric energy that feels like a love letter to Nigeria with a global twist. Every track pulls you in, makes you think, and keeps your body moving. Kizz Daniel’s Lemon Chase EP is straight fire ; Five tracks, but “Al-Jannah” with ODUMODUBLVCK and Bella Shmurda sounds like THE ONE. It’s gritty, it’s bold, it’s that anthem you may find yourself blasting on repeat. Kizz also teams up with Zlatan for “Secure,” a smooth banger that’s got that some dancefloor magic to it.
Falz is serving bars and vibes with The Feast. Check “Anything Goes” with ODUMODUBLVCK—it’s sharp, it’s wavy, it’s Falz doing what he does best. Bloody Civilian’s “Ladida” is pure attitude, the kind of track that makes you feel unstoppable. Sarz and Lojay’s “Billions” is your new flex anthem, all about chasing the bag with slick production. CDQ’s SADIKU EP brings that raw street energy, while Lady Donli’s This Feels Like An Interlude EP is smooth, soulful, and hits deep. Savage’s MELÖVIA keeps the party going, Runda’s Behind Closed Doors tells real stories, and Braye’s “I Wish I Had More Time” is that reflective vibe for when you’re in your feels.
Nigeria’s music scene is on another level right now, mixing Afrobeat’s roots with sounds that resonate worldwide. These drops are proof that whether you’re turning up or chilling out, there’s something here for you.
