Music they say is an art and a universal language. The Nigerian music industry experienced what I call a colossal and stupendous influx of hit songs and bodyworks ranging from EPs and delectable studio albums both from old and new generation artists in 2021. The beginning of 2021 signalled the unveiling of the goodies the year had in stock for music lovers as the atmosphere was serenaded with a plethora of smash hit songs that ushered in the year.

From the first quarter of the year to the fourth quarter saw artists coming through with either their judicious and long-anticipated debut or sophomore album which started dropping like it’s hot setting up the industry in flames, and music fans grooving to a steady inflow of jams from their favourite Act.
