Ejoya, Nigeria’s foremost music distribution and artist development platform, proudly announces the release of its annual flagship compilation project, Ejoya Class of ’24.
Continuing a tradition that began in 2020, this year’s edition reaffirms Ejoya’s commitment to discovering, nurturing, and spotlighting the next wave of musical trailblazers from Nigeria and across the continent.
From its inception, the Ejoya Class of series has proven to be a defining moment for rising stars and established acts alike. Previous editions have introduced the world to now-renowned artists such as BNXN, Magicsticks, YKB, Sgawd, TAR1Q, and Oladapo, while cementing Ejoya’s place at the heart of Nigeria’s vibrant music ecosystem.
Class of ’24 takes this legacy further, offering a diverse and innovative curation of sound that reflects the genre-blending creativity of today’s artists.
