22 notable sophomore albums in Afrobeats you should know about

There has always been a debate about which album is the hardest to make between the debut and the sophomore.

While some opine that the debut is more tasking as it's a culmination of the artist's experience up to that point summarized into a project meant to kick off the artist's career, others argue that sophomores exact more pressure on the artist, especially the demand to match and sometimes surpass the debut project.

For artists who delivered quality debut albums, the pressure to retain similar standards in the Sophomore is present, and for those whose with shaky debuts, the pressure to surpass the debut with a compelling second album is also present. Truly, many have caved under this pressure, thus leading to what's commonly called the "Sophomore Curse" in music.
