Seyi Vibez Proclaims Hustler’s Anthem On Debut Studio Album, “Billion Dollar Baby”

After basking in the spotlight as one of the leading voices of Street-pop music in Africa, prolific hitmaker, Seyi Vibez, consolidates his enduring efforts with his recently released debut album titled, Billion Dollar Baby. Following his earlier releases including the widely acclaimed No Seyi, No Vibes EP, Seyi Vibez extends the depth of his hustler’s anthem narrative with this solid 11-track album.

Since his induction into the industry, Seyi Vibez, born Balogun Afolabi Oluwaseyi, has captured the hearts of the streets; With this new album, you can tell why it’s been easy for him. Within the Billion Dollar Baby album, the 27-year-old singer lucidly captures the reality of every young hustler on the streets, borne by his experiences growing up in Ikorodu, a small bustling town North of Lagos, Nigeria’s entertainment capital.

On Billion Dollar Baby, Seyi Vibez goes on a pep-giving spree: he encourages every young listener on the need for grooming positive ambitions and on making them a reality. Seyi Vibez is a teacher by example; after stepping into the limelight with the release of his 2021 street bop, God Sent, he maintained a stealthy momentum as an upcoming artiste, releasing two bodies of work that earned him a good position in the hearts of listeners.

With a fine line-up of songs like +234, Bullion Van, Bank of America, Saro, Gangsta, Chance, and BD Baby, Seyi Vibez goes on a fine blend of breezy lightweight party tunes and introspective pop bangers. In the album, he collectively self-affirms his prosperity, refusing to give up on his dreams or settle for less. Tapping other mavericks including Mayorkun on the track, Ten, and Simi on the track Darling, Seyi Vibez amplifies his ‘ghetto gospel’ narrative on this album. Even when he sings about falling in love, which is every hustler’s reality, as he did on the songs Darling and Ife, he presents his experiences and thoughts in a very relatable and exciting way. With Seyi Vibez, it’s a clear case of ‘there is something for everyone,’ irrespective of societal class, as his artistry stands out as very introspective and progressive.

Seyi Vibez started pursuing his passion for singing, by making covers of his favourite African songs at the time, before he ditched his corporate career for a shot in the music industry. His progression within the music scene as a lyrical juggernaut and a skilled vocalist continues to spotlight him among the few leading singers holding it down for indigenous-language pop music in Nigeria.
