The 14-year-old rising star didn’t just step into the game; in fact, he ran straight to the top. His lead single, “Champion Sound,” entered the Apple Music Nigeria Top Songs chart at #7, marking Bolu’s first top 10 appearance. Impressively, every other track on the EP also ranks within the Top 30, a rare feat for a newcomer.
Bolu’s sound blends smooth Afro-fusion rhythms with youthful confidence, clearly drawing inspiration from his father, Wizkid, yet carving out his own lane. Fans describe the EP as “refreshing and soulful,” while critics say it signals the rise of a new generation in Afrobeats.
When asked about the project, Bolu said he titled it Champion to reflect his personal journey and self-belief. “I’ve been in the studio for months, just learning and growing,” he shared in an interview. “This project means everything to me because it’s my first real sound out there.”
The EP’s quick success is already stirring buzz across social media, with fans celebrating his debut and drawing comparisons to early Wizkid eras. Music lovers are calling it one of the strongest introductions of 2025.
For a first attempt, Bolu’s Champion feels like more than just potential; rather, it’s a statement.
