2. THE COLLECTIV3
Release Date: October 2nd, 2015
The Collectiv3 is arguably the most beautifully composed body of work in Nigeria this year. The team consisting of Kid Konnect, Funbi, Poe, SDC, Temi Dollface, and IKON brought about what they think Nigerian music should sound like. It’s far from your traditional commercial music, but if there’s an evergreen album on this list, this is it. Think The Dreamer Project, Asa, etc. Musically the album breaks nigerian musical boundaries, and even if it’s not the big commercial success it’s supposed to be, it’s the sort of album that could win a grammy if all things were equal.
Stand out tracks: Forbidden Fruit, Sexy Bitch, Shey Bai
