While Afrobeats is enjoying mainstream global recognition, one of the artists that have laid down the marker for the stupendous rise of the genre is Ceeza Milli. One of Afrobeats’ best-kept secrets, Ceeza Milli has worked with and written songs for artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Davido, and DJ Cuppy.
A hidden gem poised for a full-scale explosion, Ceeza Milli graced the scene with his aptly titled debut album, Diamond In The Rough two years ago, enlisting frequent collaborators such as Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Terri as guest artists. Following that, Ceeza Milli has released a number of singles that have received positive reviews from fans and critics.

Rated, his first compilation since 2020’s Diamond In The Rough, plays as a declarative statement about Ceeza’s current lifestyle and impending blow-up. The four-track capsule features only the Amemuso Choir, as Ceeza crests over mid-tempo synths with reflective lyrics.
Rated sees Ceeza Milli flex his songwriting dexterity overtly as the Nigerian artist glides through melodies and lustrous beats effortlessly while keeping his messaging clear throughout the twelve-minute EP. Rated shows Ceeza Milli coming into his own and stepping into his long-deserved spotlight as not only one of the best Afrobeats songwriters currently but also one of the most compelling Afrobeats singers in the scene currently.
