Act X of Seyi Vibez’s intriguing career properly begins in a couple of days. His new album, ‘SWAGUU’, a long-teased project that has occupied plenty of conversation—not least because of the high-profile Burna Boy executive producer credit attached to it—arrives this Friday, marking the beginning of another chapter in an already fascinating career. 

Ahead of the release of the album, we take a look at his loaded discography, from the raw hunger and aspiration of ‘NSNV’ and the breakthrough of ‘Billion Dollar Baby’ to the genre-bending heights of his 2023 run. Here’s our definitive ranking of every Seyi Vibez project, from the least essential to the very best.

‘FUJI MOTO’ 

‘FUJI MOTO’ is one of Seyi Vibez’s most experimental projects yet, but somewhere between evolving, incorporating more Western influences and exploring international collaborations, the album felt distant from the street-core flavour, mannerisms and lyricism that had become defining hallmarks of his music and persona. For a long time, his music represented a class of struggling people with blistering ambitions to become greater than their roots, a reality he had already achieved by the time ‘FUJI MOTO’ arrived, which perhaps best explains why it didn’t resonate as strongly with his fans. However, the project is still home to fan favourites like “HOW ARE YOU,” “PRESSURE,” the title track “FUJI MOTO” and the Olamide-assisted “FUJI PARTY.” – Michelle Ejiro

‘Loseyi Professor’ 

Even though ‘Loseyi Professor’ arrived amid considerable fanfare — as his first solo album in over a year following a period of rapid-fire releases — it ultimately turned out to be another routine addition to his discography. In retrospect, it may go down as a checkpoint of sorts: an album that bookends a creative run that began with him simply asking for a “Chance,” and closed out with an artist unsure where to take his sound next.  – Boluwatife Adeyemi

‘Memory Card’ 

Released in January 2023, ‘Memory Card’ arrived just two months after ‘Billion Dollar Baby,’ at a point when Seyi Vibez was rapidly gaining the keys to the city. The five-track EP keeps the hunger of his breakthrough intact, but gives him more room to experiment. On songs like “G.O.A.T.”, “Alaska” and “Para Boi,” he sounds scattergun and unapologetically brash; doubling down on his breathless pace with incantatory flows layered over punchy Amapiano logs and kinetic grooves. Across the project, Seyi sounds ambitious and restless, sketching out ideas he would develop further throughout his prolific 2023 run. – Melony Akpoghene

‘Children of Africa’  

Describing Seyi Vibez’s ‘Children of Africa’  as a no-miss body of work isn’t an overreach, considering how well the four tracks maintain a cohesive, high-energy quality. Sweetly gliding from the braggadocio of “MARIO KART” to the groovy essence of the NLE Choppa-assisted “MACHO,” the electrifying spirit of “SHAOLIN,” and the thrilling chorus of “HAPPY SONG,” it remains one of Seyi Vibez’s most cohesive projects. Although the songs later became the latter part of ‘FUJI MOTO,’ ‘Children of Africa’ succeeded as a standalone project, speaking to the impact it had on its own. – M.E

‘NSNV’ 

For a section of Seyi Vibez’s devoted fanbase, his official debut album ‘NSNV’ remains his magnum opus. Before the mainstream success of ‘Billion Dollar Baby’ and before his genre alchemy began to take on increasingly ambitious forms, ‘NSNV’ captured an artist still close to the hunger and uncertainty that defined his early career. Across standout tracks like “God Sent,” “Catalyst,” and “Big Vibe,” he balances streetwise grit with moments of startling vulnerability, establishing the directness and melodic instinct that would become central to his appeal. – B.A

‘NAHAMciaga’ 

By late 2023, Seyi Vibez was fully running the scene, and ‘NAHAMciaga’ serves as the capstone to an insanely prolific year. A direct spin on his viral “Na Ham” catchphrase, the four-track EP has zero misses. Loseyi leans further into indigenous musical traditions, with an Orlando Owoh Highlife sample on “Different Pattern.” Across “Cana”, “Today” and “Shazam,” Seyi is mostly celebrating his rise, mixing street wisdom and plenty of chest-thumping with a noticeably sleeker production style. – M.A

‘Vibe Till Thy Kingdom Come’ 

After his breakthrough into the mainstream with the reception of “Chance (Na Ham),” Seyi Vibez doubled down with the sexy “Hat-trick” and set the precedent for the genre mash-up that would animate ‘Vibe Till Thy Kingdom Come.’ He merged multiple influences, including core Fuji melodies and Sakara as well as Pop-inflected rhythms on standout tracks like “Fuji Interlude,” “Dejavu” and “Amdallah,” while rounding it out with the solemn closer, “Blacka Rhythm,” for a well-paced effort. – M.E 

‘Billion Dollar Baby’ 

‘Billion Dollar Baby’ gave Seyi Vibez’s hustler mythology a bigger stage. But more importantly, it stamped him as the new voice of the streets. It folds prayers and realities of the grind into music made for the good times, with Fuji, Tungba and Apala running through its rhythmic DNA. Propelled by monster singles like “Chance (Na Ham)”, “Bank of America”, “Bullion Van” and “+234”, the album blew the doors wide open. With ‘Billion Dollar Baby 2.0’, the deluxe added spiritual heavy-hitters like “Psalm 23” and “Kun Faya Kun (Be and It Is)”, which expanded Seyi’s reputation as a spiritual unifier who captured the multi-faith reality of the Lagos streets. – M.A

‘Thy Kingdom Come’ 

It’s not particularly contentious to say that Seyi Vibez’s creative peak so far came in the summer of 2023, when he released his sprawling double album ‘Vibe Till Thy Kingdom’ and ‘Thy Kingdom.’ Coming off the back of ‘Billion Dollar Baby’ and the explosive momentum that followed, both projects captured him at the height of his powers. The latter is the stronger of the two, and arguably the strongest project in his discography, distilling everything that made Seyi Vibez compelling at the time into his most cohesive and adventurous body of work. – B.A
