Tems

Tems' feature on Wizkid's 'Essence' hit No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and from there the momentum barely slowed: a second Grammy nomination followed for her contribution to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, and in 2023 she actually won, taking Best Melodic Rap Performance for 'Wait for U.' Her 2024 debut album, Born in the Wild, debuted at No. 56 on the Billboard 200 — a real chart entry for a solo debut, not just another feature credit. In under a decade she went from guest vocalist to Grammy winner to charting artist in her own right, a progression most careers take twice as long to complete.
