Ceeza Milli is one of the musicians who helped pave the way for the phenomenal emergence of the Afrobeats genre, which is now well recognized on a global scale. Ceeza Milli, one of Afrobeats’ best-kept secrets, has collaborated with and written songs for musicians like DJ Cuppy, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, and Burna Boy.
With his aptly named debut album, Diamond In The Rough, Ceeza Milli, a hidden treasure on the verge of a full-scale eruption, struck the scene two years ago. He also included frequent colleagues Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Terri as guest performers. Following that, Ceeza Milli put out a number of singles that were well-received by both critics and fans.
Ceeza’s latest studio project, Rated, serves as a categorical statement about his current way of life and imminent explosion. The Amemuso Choir is the only featured group on the four tracks on the EP while Ceeza soars over meditative soundscapes.
Ceeza Milli’s songwriting skill is on full display in Rated as the Nigerian musician seamlessly transitions between melodies and glossy beats while maintaining the clarity of his message throughout the twelve-minute EP. Rated demonstrates Ceeza Milli coming into his own and seizing the long-overdue spotlight as one of the top Afrobeats songwriters in the scene right now as well as one of the genre’s most alluring vocalists.
