Ric Hassani Unveils Star-Studded ‘Lagos Lover Boy’ Album—A Genre-Bending Masterpiece Drops June 13

Ric Hassani is back—and this time, he’s rewriting the rules of sound and swagger with his most ambitious project yet. The highly anticipated album, “Lagos Lover Boy,” drops June 13, 2025, and by all early indications, it’s a game-changer for Nigerian pop music.

Taking to social media in a flurry of passionate tweets, the singer-songwriter declared “This is THE Album of the Year. No other album will give you this much newness, freshness, and diversity.” That bold claim isn’t without backing. “Lagos Lover Boy” is a 21-track sonic journey, fusing Afro-pop, R&B, street-hop, and soul, featuring a lineup that reads like a who’s who of global and homegrown talent.

The album boasts high-voltage collaborations with Nigerian chart-toppers Phyno, Portable, Joeboy, Odumodublvck, and Nonso Amadi, alongside international R&B star Ne-Yo and rising acts like Tolibian, Ayomaff, Dotti Deity, and Sage Baba. One standout track—“4x2x16”—already has fans buzzing online for its cryptic title and genre-blending energy.

“My song with Nonso Amadi is exactly what you imagine a Ric Hassani and Nonso Amadi record would sound like,” Ric teased. “You’re in for a real treat.”

But it’s not just about features. Hassani emphasizes the authenticity behind the project:

“Everything you see on our album cover is 100% real. No AI. No edits. Just like the music—raw and honest.”

The album drops at 12 AM on June 13, and if Ric’s bold pre-release energy is any indication, fans are in for a genre-fluid, emotionally layered, and unpredictable listening experience.

From high-energy street-hop to velvety romantic ballads, “Lagos Lover Boy” aims to redefine what a Nigerian pop album can sound—and feel—like in 2025.

So whether you’re into romantic grooves, party bangers, or experimental vibes, Ric Hassani’s “Lagos Lover Boy” promises a little something for every kind of listener.
