She further outlined the defining characteristics of Street Pop, describing its fusion of Afrobeats, Highlife, Hip-hop, Fuji, Apala, indigenous sounds, and contemporary elements. Boateng emphasized its engaging rhythm, fast-paced beats, and lyrics that mirror the everyday realities faced by Nigerians navigating the challenges of the streets.

Olamide secured the ninth spot in Nigeria’s top 10 artistes list, with his recent project “Unruly” receiving widespread acclaim. Boateng highlighted the track “Gaza” from the album, which resonated exceptionally well with audiences, praising its appeal and musical craftsmanship.
