That’s the beauty of music in 2018, it comes from places you wouldn’t expect and is never short on fresh sounds.

Regardless, we’ve pulled together 10 of our favorite rising artists that we’re expecting to blow up this year.

10. Basseline


The UK based Nigerian indigenous rapper “Basseline” with the real name Emmanuel Eke Kalu Ajike.

The unrelenting rapper whose style is igbo patterned has caught the attention of all Naijaloaded team with his style. if he can capture our own heart despite our strict music critics, he’s definitely hitting the industry top spot this year 2018.



9. LMD


LMD embodies street rap style, but not because he draws more attention on the street but that just his rapping heritage.

He’s fully street because his music is confident, creative and puts his unique identity and culture on full display. And, oh yeah, the tracks are hard as hell.

Go listen to “Letter To Federal Government” and come fight with me, if he doesn’t worth it.



8. Alphi Lexy


Many of the names on this list enjoyed acclaim in 2017, but Alphi Lexy received perhaps the biggest co-sign.

He dropped numerous of hit tracks last year, spawning successful songs like “Bodak Yell0w Freestyle”, and “Mr Bartender,” but those moments paled in comparison to the national attention he caught when he dropped “Ready Made” late last year.

With more eyes on him than ever, Alphi has to keep delivering the fun, clever, and melodic tracks he’s broken out with.
