If there’s one thing Cool JB proves with his new album UNIVERSE, it’s that Afrofusion can be both spiritual and street at the same time — and still hit just as hard. The rising Nigerian artist comes through with a full-length project that feels like a complete world: layered, emotional, chaotic, grounded, and beautifully real.
UNIVERSE blends contemporary African rhythms with Yoruba storytelling and street-rooted truth, creating a sound that sits comfortably between commercial appeal and cultural depth. It’s the kind of album that works whether you’re looking for something reflective for late-night listening or something energetic enough to soundtrack a weekend link-up.
The project jumps between moods with intention. Tracks like “Toxic Relationship,” “HAPPINESS,” “KAKU,” “MY TIME,” and “CHOCHOCHO” deliver those instantly catchy hooks and beat-heavy moments that feel built for radio, playlists, and nightlife. But Cool JB doesn’t just stay on the surface — songs like “GOD IS ABLE,” “FEARS,” “WABILAHI TAOFEEQ,” and “LOVE IN SAPA” dive into deeper waters, exploring faith, emotional survival, and the harsh realities of navigating life’s pressure.
His blend of English, Yoruba, and Nigerian street slang gives the album a raw authenticity that resonates across borders. And his collaborations with Inspiraystonner add emotional contrast, especially on “SHOULDER,” “FAMILY MATTER,” and the standout “LOVE IN SAPA.”
What makes UNIVERSE truly work is its structure — it isn’t just a playlist of singles. It’s a journey. A story of ambition, betrayal, spiritual grounding, hunger for success, and the messy, beautiful humanity in between.
With growing momentum across streaming platforms and attention from tastemakers, Cool JB is carving his lane as a rising force in modern African music — bridging street realism and global sound with refreshing originality.
“UNIVERSE positions Cool JB as a compelling new voice in Afrofusion — raw, reflective, and boldly authentic
