There’s something incredibly special about discovering an artist right at the start of their journey, and with Honeyboy Vibes, Honeyboy Ub makes sure his debut EP is impossible to ignore. Dropping on July 28, 2025, this project feels less like an introduction and more like an invitation — a door opening into the heart and soul of one of Nigeria’s most exciting new Afrobeat voices.
The EP runs across five tracks, each one carrying its own weight and story. What ties them together is the raw honesty behind them. Honeyboy Ub sings about love, struggle, faith, and growth, and you can tell these aren’t just concepts pulled from thin air — they’re rooted in real experiences. Some songs glide effortlessly, as if they wrote themselves, while others feel like the result of deep reflection. Either way, every lyric, every beat, feels intentional. The way he blends English, Yoruba, and Akwa Ibom makes the project sound not just authentic but personal, like he’s letting us into his own world.
And the backstory? Honestly, it’s inspiring. Honeyboy Ub started back in 2016, recording his first song while still in high school, hustling just to get to the studio. Before streaming platforms were even part of his journey, he was passing music around through memory cards, already winning over fans. His name itself came from a listener who described his music as “sweet like honey” — and listening to this EP, that feels spot on. By 2019, he was uploading to Audiomack, and by 2023, his songs had found their way onto major platforms.
Honeyboy Vibes is more than just a debut. It’s the sound of an artist who has worked tirelessly to get here.
