8 Underrated Nigerian Music Projects You Might Have Missed (Feb–Apr 2026)

The first quarter of 2026 felt quieter for Afrobeats, but several under-the-radar albums and EPs still stood out. These eight projects offer fresh voices and surprising collaborations. Hybrid marks Shoday’s debut with early singles that both excite and front-load his strongest work. Jeriq returns with Hood Boy Dreams 2, sharpening the raw honesty of its predecessor. Tuff King’s Black Sheepizen carries his drill-grime instincts across an album length, rewarding patience when the writing holds. Ice Prince explores personal themes on Testimony of Grace, blending rap and Afrobeats with high-profile features. Priesst’s Kurima Too combines mellow production with introspective lyrics, while Korede Bello refines his signature romantic Afropop on Another One. Finally, Joeboy and Wizard Chan’s Agaba Romantic defies expectations with cohesive storytelling, and Iyanya leans fully into club-ready rhythms on Rumberas. Each project brings its own strength and is worth your attention.
