Shoday’s debut EP, “Brkfst”, released in 2024, serves as a confident introduction to his “Billion Boy” persona. Moving away from the typical “heartbreak” connotations of the word “breakfast” in Nigerian slang, the project is a celebratory coming-of-age story that emphasizes gratitude, ambition, and perseverance.
The 6-track project is a tight fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and Highlife, with occasional splashes of Amapiano. Shoday’s strength lies in his “honest and upbeat” delivery; his lyrics often feel like journal entries that track his transition from a content creator to a rising music star.
“Brkfst” succeeds in establishing Shoday’s brand. It’s a “nourishing” first meal that demonstrates he has the vocal range and the charisma to compete in the mainstream Afrobeats scene.
