Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Monaky has announced the release of his highly anticipated Extended Play (EP) titled ZAZAFEST, which is set to arrive on Friday, November 21, 2025.
The project marks a new chapter for the fast-rising artist, who has continued to capture attention with his deep vocals, unique sound, and street-inspired storytelling. Known for hits like Chandelier, Monaky has built a solid reputation as one of the most promising voices redefining modern Afro-fusion.
ZAZAFEST will feature collaborations with two of Nigeria’s most dynamic acts, Lil Kesh and Jeriq. Lil Kesh, famous for his street bangers and energetic flow, is expected to bring his signature YAGI vibe, while Jeriq, the Igbo trap star, reunites with Monaky after their successful joint track 7 Grams.
The EP’s cover art, showing Monaky against a fiery red backdrop with graffiti-style lettering, captures the project’s bold and rebellious energy. The title ZAZAFEST itself hints at a celebration of street culture, ambition, and the daily grind that fuels the Nigerian music scene.
Monaky, who has drawn comparisons to legends like Fela Kuti and Burna Boy, is said to be experimenting with new sounds that blend Afrobeat, trap, and highlife influences. The Edo-born artist’s ability to weave relatable stories with raw emotion has earned him a loyal fan base eager for this new release.
As the November 21 release date draws closer, anticipation continues to build for ZAZAFEST, a project expected to reaffirm Monaky’s place as one of Nigeria’s most exciting new stars.
