    Paroranking and Sarkodie blessed fans with a Nigerian X Ghanaian collaboration that dominated airwaves.

    Pataranking’s blend of patois and pidgin is seamless, requiring close attention to unpick. Ghanaian star Sarkodie is a mad-fluent spitter whose verse here is faultless in cadence, as always, even when delivered in Twi.

    “No Kissing Baby” was produced by GospelOnDeBeatz, who uses a syncopated hi-hat that is uniquely Ghanaian, but was being borrowed by an increasing number of Nigerian producers in 2016.

    Ycee- Omo Alhaji

    “Who’s your daddy?” in Nigerian parlance could double as a preamble to an actual pick-up line and as a status identifier.

    While it might have suited the pervy older man that Banky W characterised on “Jasi.” Ycee rap-singing the line in the hook and verses for “Omo Alhaji,” which is a hybrid delivery—American-accented rap and the indigenous preference of afrobeat had fans dancing to it.
