First look at “Cavy in the City” album cover
Highlife is about to put on city shoes — because The Cavemen are back!
The award-winning Nigerian duo just announced their third studio album, and the title alone has fans buzzing: Cavy in the City.
Dropping October 31, 2025, this one promises to be a vibe — a smooth blend of village soul and city swagger.
The Cavemen (brothers Kingsley and Benjamin Okorie) have been the guardians of modern highlife — bringing timeless Igbo rhythms into the TikTok era without losing that authentic palm-wine flavor.
They gave us Roots (2020), the rebirth of highlife.
They gave us Love and Highlife (2021), a groove-filled love letter to culture.
Now they’re giving us Cavy in the City, and it sounds like they’re stepping into something bigger, brighter, and maybe just a little bit bolder.
This time, The Cavemen aren’t just singing about home — they’re singing about the hustle, the noise, the dreams, and the heartbeat of the city.
The duo dropped the announcement on Instagram with their usual mystery and charm. The post read:
“The journey continues. From the roots to the city — October 31.”
That’s it. No tracklist. No snippets. Just vibes.
And that’s all fans needed. Within hours, the comment section exploded — fire emojis, dancing emojis, and the occasional “ highlife is not dead!”
Word on the street (and on Album Talks) is that the project will fuse the Cavemen’s signature highlife groove with urban energy — think horns and talking drums, but sprinkled with Lagos chaos and city ambition.
Because let’s be honest — nobody does it like The Cavemen.
While most of the Nigerian scene leans toward Afrobeats and Amapiano, these brothers have carved out their own lane: a nostalgic yet modern sound that makes your parents hum and your Gen Z cousin vibe at the same time.
They’ve made highlife cool again — not by changing it, but by letting it shine.
And now, with Cavy in the City, it looks like they’re about to bring that cool to the urban skyline.
Expect something lush, groovy, and full of life — the kind of music that makes you feel like you’re riding through Lagos traffic with a smile. ✨
October 31, 2025.
The drums will roll. The horns will sing. And the Cavemen will once again prove why they’re the kings of Nigerian groove.
Until then, polish your dancing shoes — Cavy is coming to the city!
