Usman Iguda, popularly known as Ussy MB, is making waves in the Nigerian music scene as he prepares to release his much-anticipated EP, Outta Nowhere. Hailing from the vibrant streets of Lagos State, Ussy MB is an emerging Afrobeat artist whose music blends authentic storytelling, modern rhythms, and the pulsating energy of Nigeria’s urban culture. With his latest single, “OJORO,” already gaining waves, Ussy MB is poised to cement his place as a voice for his generation and a global ambassador for Afrobeat.

Growing up in Lagos, Ussy MB was immersed in a rich soundscape shaped by Afrobeat pioneers like Fela Kuti and the dynamic street vibes of the city. From an early age, music became his outlet for expressing emotions and sharing stories drawn from his personal experiences. “Lagos has a heartbeat of its own,” Ussy MB reflects. “The struggles, the beauty, the energy it all flows into my music. Every song I write is a piece of my story.”

Ussy MB’s journey as an artist took a defining turn when he noticed how deeply his music resonated with listeners. “Friends and strangers alike would tell me how my songs made them feel something real,” he says. “That’s when I knew music wasn’t just a passion, it was my calling.” His performances, which he describes as a thrilling blend of nerves and adrenaline, have solidified his connection with audiences. “Stepping on stage is terrifying at first, but when I see the crowd vibing to my sound, it’s pure magic,” he shares. “That’s the power of music, it brings people together.”

His signature style is a fusion of classic Afrobeat with contemporary rhythms, infused with raw emotion and relatable narratives. Ussy MB’s authenticity sets him apart in a competitive industry, as he draws inspiration from both Afrobeat legends like Fela Kuti and modern icons such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido. “I want my music to reflect real life, love, trust, struggles, and triumphs,” he explains. His latest single, “OJORO,” is a testament to this approach, inspired by the complexities of relationships and the challenges of navigating trust in today’s world.

The upcoming EP, Outta Nowhere, promises to showcase Ussy MB’s versatility and creativity. Scheduled for release on September 6, 2025, the project is a vibrant blend of sound and storytelling, featuring a standout collaboration with the legendary Terry Apala on Track 3. Known for his innovative fusion of Apala music with contemporary Afro sounds, Terry Apala’s contribution adds a layer of cultural depth and authenticity to the EP. “This project came from pure inspiration,” Ussy MB says. “It’s designed to connect with Ussy MB in unexpected ways, like it came Outta Nowhere.”

Despite his rising success, Ussy MB acknowledges the challenges of breaking through in Nigeria’s bustling music industry. “Getting my music to a wider audience hasn’t been easy,” he admits. “But I’ve stayed consistent, invested in my craft, and built a strong connection with my fans.” His fans, whom he considers the heart of his journey, play a pivotal role in his motivation. Through social media, Ussymb engages with his audience, sharing behind-the-scenes moments and valuing their feedback. “They push me to keep going,” he says. “Knowing people are waiting for my next release drives me to work harder.”

Looking ahead, Ussy MB has ambitious goals to take Afrobeat to the global stage. “I want to tour the world, collaborate with international artists, and create timeless music that inspires people everywhere,” he says. In addition to promoting Outta Nowhere, Ussy MB is already working on exciting new collaborations with other Afrobeat artists and developing future projects that will further showcase his evolving sound.
