Priesst doesn’t rush his process. He lets the music speak for itself. The Nigerian Afrobeats artist has been quietly carving a lane defined by groove, intention, and steady growth, proving that momentum doesn’t always need to be loud to be felt.
His early breakthrough came with “Puff Puff Pass”, featuring Falz, a record that introduced his playful confidence and lyrical ease. It was the kind of release that didn’t just trend. It positioned him as an artist worth paying attention to.

Since then, Priesst has continued refining his sound. Tracks like “Osimhen” leaned into cultural reference and rhythm. At the same time “Shayo” showcased a smoother, more laid-back Afrobeat palette, the kind of song that slips easily into everyday listening without trying too hard.
More recently, “Akonuche” reflects an artist growing more comfortable in his identity, blending melody and meaning with subtle confidence. Alongside records like “Upcoming (Check on Me)”, Priesst’s catalogue feels intentional, less about chasing moments and more about building a body of work that lasts.
His 2025 project, KURIMA, further reinforces this direction. It captures an artist experimenting, refining, and trusting his pace in a scene that often rewards speed over substance.
Priesst’s story is still unfolding, but what’s clear is this. He’s choosing longevity over noise, growth over hype, and craft over shortcuts.
Tune in.
