Inestimable is a Lagos based music collective focused on collaborative creation and building a shared platform for emerging artists. Their latest project, Listen to the Music 2, continues that approach.
The seven track release builds on their 2022 debut, Listen to the Music, which introduced a multi artist format designed to bring emerging voices into a shared creative space. The project went on to appear on Apple Music’s world albums charts across Nigeria, Botswana, Lithuania, and South Africa.
At the core of Inestimable is a structured way of working. Most of the collective’s records are created through recurring songwriting camps and studio sessions, where artists and producers collaborate in real time. From these sessions, only the strongest records are selected for release, allowing the group to maintain both consistency and quality while building a growing catalog.
Listen to the Music 2 features six tracks and one interlude, exploring themes of ambition, relationships, survival, and the search for opportunity. The project reflects everyday experiences of young people navigating life in Lagos. Sonically, it blends Afrobeats, street pop, and melodic rap, capturing the fluid sound shaping the city’s underground scene.
The project opens with the lead single 99 Problem, featuring Adam Srae, Jordanstyls, and Ntwyn, and sets the tone with direct storytelling and high energy production. Across the project, Inestimable brings together a mix of emerging voices and experienced contributors, including Grammy nominated producer Rugged. The collective also provides opportunities for emerging artists such as OD Vibes and Combo Wave to appear and contribute within the same creative ecosystem, reinforcing its focus on access and shared visibility.
In support of the release, Inestimable introduced Problem of the Day, a daily Substack series pairing short form visuals with everyday frustrations, extending the ideas within the music into a more immediate and relatable format.
With Listen to the Music 2, Inestimable continues to operate as a working model that challenges how music is created, selected, and released within emerging artist ecosystems.
Listen to the Music 2 by Inestimable is out now on all streaming platforms.
