Buga- Kizz Daniel ft Tekno
There are not many songs that bridge generations and those that do were created years before Afrobeats or Afropop were even thought of.
Yet, “Buga” by Kizz Daniel is one of the few records that cross generations, inspiring even our strict parents, upbeat siblings, and tiny cousins to sing along and “go low low low” when the song calls for it.
Essence- Wizkid ft Tems
“Essence” was initially released as one of the numerous tracks that make up “Made in Lagos,” but it gradually emerged from the project’s shadow to become a smash on its own. Tems‘ reputation in the international music scene, in particular, and Wizkid’s career in general, both benefited greatly from the song.
Pami- DJ Tunez ft Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, Omah Lay
You can tell that this song is a massive collaboration just by the appearance of the performers involved. DJ Tunez understood exactly what he was doing when he put Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, and Omah Lay in one song.
Produced by Blaise Beatz, the track is a perfect blend of Afrobeat and the raving bop sound that sees all singers, bewitch the souls and hearts of music fans with sultry and honeyed vocals. The chemistry on this tune is divine
Feeling – Ladipoe ft BNXN
Feeling, which features BNXN fka Buju, gave Ladipoe the largest song of his career, which also happens to be his biggest hit to date.
Buju’s quick melismatic singing hooks listeners before Ladipoe’s slick rap bars come next. With catchy hooks and excellent bars, Ladipoe and Buju created a song with a lot of replay value.
Finesse- Pheelz ft BNXN
Finesse is more than just a song; it is an anthem, and we can thank Pheelz, Mr. Producer, and BNXN for that. Let us not even get into how the song’s snippet, Finesse, successfully mesmerised everyone on social media.
In one instance, you might be praying one moment and singing “If I Broke Na My Business In Your Subconscious” the next.
The song really gave solid backing to Pheelz’s decision to switch from producing to singing.
High- Adekunle Gold ft Davido
The good boy turned bad Adekunle Gold joins forces with Davido to pay homage to alcohol with reckless abandon. Gold maintains relevance in the constantly changing music industry by choosing the amapiano route. The clubs, shows and parties go wild when the DJ plays this song.
Running- Chike ft Simi
Two (good) heads are better than one, and this collaboration is a testament to that. Chike’s flawless standalone music receives the ‘Simi‘ treatment, extending its listenership and breaching cultural barriers for Chike.
It’s no surprise that its music video was the most viewed video on Youtube for 2021.
Holy Father- Mayorkun ft Victony
On October 27 2021, Mayorkun released Holy Father in collaboration with Victony, and it quickly went viral across the nation. It is difficult to overestimate how well Mayorkun and Victony work together. It is an excellent collaboration that deserves to be acknowledged.
Omo Ope- Asake ft Olamide
Asake’s widespread fame was undoubtedly paved by the song “Omo Ope,” and since that time, the singer has not looked back.
Even though Asake has since released other successful songs, “Omo Ope” will always be his pinnacle of achievement.
