Bullish marketing and quality music releases are two sides of the coin to be paid before any new entrant ascends Afrobeats’ ranks today.

However, there’s always that exception that penetrates the mainstream with a lucky spotlight for their talent. For 19-year-old Meeza, it’s a harvest of diverse tactics as the young Afrobeats warlock signals his imminent takeover with every new release.

Searing through the list of new music on rotation in Afrobeats, Meeza’s “Shako Siwon” garners acclaim with its evergreen hook and catchy mid-tempo Afro pop verses.

Meeza, born Toluwalashe Azeez Adumadeyin, has risen under the gaze of euphoric Afro pop lovers, bootstrapping his breakout side-by-side with his manager Emmanuella Emeruwah. Together, the duo have placed Meeza on a pedestal of newest Afrobeats acts to watch out for, especially with hits like “Yawa”, and “Shako Siwon.”

The singer who started his career as a rapper circa 2015 made a professional shift to singing in 2020 during the midst of the pandemic. His journey to stardom includes a series of cover freestyles shared on social media and promising solo releases. He cemented his potential with the acclaimed track, ‘Gbona, featuring Zinoleesky, sometime last year, while pushing boundaries with Afro Pop.

Now, with his recent new release, Meeza is beaming with all the right rays of potential for stardom. With music filled with shock and replay value, as well as relatable songwriting, Meeza’s first sprint in 2024 is a confident pointer to a near future filled with success for the singer.
