NO11 has submitted “HOW FAR,” featuring Ayjay Bobo and Monochrome, for consideration in the Best African Music Performance category at the 2027 Grammy Awards. Released in January 2026, the song gained traction on social media and reached No. 8 on the Official Nigeria Top 100, according to TurnTable Charts.
The track became associated with the emerging “nepopiano” wave, a term combining “nepo baby” and Amapiano to describe music linked to young artists from privileged or well-connected backgrounds. “HOW FAR” gained attention through TikTok snippets before reaching streaming charts, helping bring NO11 to a wider audience.
NO11 later released a remix of “HOW FAR” on March 3, 2026, featuring South African artists Focalistic and CIZA alongside Nigerian artists Famous Pluto and Ayjay Bobo. The remix brought together artists from Nigeria and South Africa, combining their contributions on a new version of the track. An official music video followed later that month.
The Grammy submission is for consideration, not a confirmed nomination. The Recording Academy’s first-round voting determines the nominees, who are scheduled to be announced on November 16, 2026. The 2027 Grammy Awards will take place on February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.
