If you think trying to put together a list of Nigeria’s wealthiest artistes for any given year will raise a sandstorm of controversy, wait till you try a compilation of Nigeria’s upcoming artistes, what you will get is an avalanche on social media!
Some music enthusiast put up his list of music up-comers on Nairaland and triggered serious landslide on the popular online forum-talk about a sentimental people, Nigerians top that list for sure.

However, based on a careful examination of the list though I think there are some merits. What do you think?
1. Lil kesh
I totally I agree on this one. That name Lil Kesh will make whatever list of really talented kids rocking the scene right now.
2. Adekunle Gold
If he isn’t on the list then I guess we’re not talking up-comers. Call me bias but Adekunle Gold is someone to watch out for.
3. Kiss Daniel
If his good looks don’t snare you, his smooth voice will. Daniel enjoys goodwill kisses from music fans everywhere.
4. Farabale
I give it to him, Farabale a.k.a Bale is the smoothness of them all. How he puffed into the Nigerian music scene is nothing short of magical. Dropping his ‘Caroline’ and ‘Don Dada’ singles, the UK-based artist literally walked into limelight in style.
5. Falz
Haa! This is the point we must ask the sincere question: Is Falz really an up-comer? A lot of his fans felt spited to have him on the list.
6. Korede Bello
Korede is winning with every single hit he makes which is why there was a feeling of bad-blood amongst some of the reviewers of this list who felt he deserved a better ranking.
Others who made the list (arranged in no particular order) include:
Tekno Miles
Aramide
Reminisce
Simi
