Rising Nigerian artist Destiny Iyore steps into the spotlight with “Koko,” a laid-back yet vibrant single that showcases his natural talent, authentic voice, and growing artistry. The track, an effortless blend of Afropop and feel-good energy, is a standout preview from his debut album The New Guy, a project deeply rooted in personal experience and cultural identity.
Born and raised in Edo State, Iyore grew up in a large family surrounded by rich traditions, spiritual values, and diverse cultural influences. That upbringing shines through in his music, which he uses as a tool for self-expression and connection. With an affinity for Afrobeat, Afropop, hip hop, reggae, and R&B, Iyore brings a refreshing versatility that reflects the layered sounds of modern Africa.
Koko is a smooth and catchy tune that immediately hooks listeners with its polished production and honest delivery. Iyore stays comfortably within his natural vocal range, letting his tone and cadence shine through without needing to overextend. His lyrics are clever, relatable, and perfectly suited to the upbeat instrumental that backs his performance. The result is a song that feels easy yet impactful—ready to become a listener favorite.
Iyore’s forthcoming album The New Guy expands on that ethos, drawing from his personal struggles, life lessons, and moments of growth since launching his music career. Each track offers a window into his world, from cultural pride to familial bonds. The emotional centerpiece, Mama Pray, is a heartfelt tribute to his mother—a song filled with gratitude, love, and spiritual depth.
Authenticity sits at the core of Iyore’s writing. He’s not chasing trends; he’s building a legacy. With Koko leading the way, The New Guy is set to mark the beginning of something truly special for fans of African music and honest storytelling.
