Here are the Top collaborations between Nigerian female Artists;

Waje X Tiwa Savage- Onye

Waje and Tiwa Savage collaborated on this melodious and love themed song in 2014. Onye is the 2nd track off Waje’s eponymously titled album W.A.J.E. The two powerful vocal houses weren’t in competition but in sync making the song an interesting listen.

The music video was shot by another powerful female in the industry, former music director turned Filmmaker, Kemi Adetiba.

Waje ft Muna- SO Inspired

In the song, a strongly motivated Waje sings, “Even if I fall or struggle, even if you cause me trouble, I won’t let it get to me,” which motivates hundreds of people to this very day.

Waje pays tribute to strong women all over the world in this song, underlining the daily efforts they put in to be successful.

As if Waje’s lyrics weren’t encouraging enough, Muna’s rap about throwing away labels and the boundless bounds of a woman is a show-stopping moment that lingers rent-free in our thoughts.

Seyi Shay ft Simi- Glowanna

On Glowanna“, Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua better known as Seyi Shay collaborates with Nigerian renowned songbird and powerful chanteuse, Simi who assisted accordingly on the masterpiece, marking her own vocal print.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of Naija best albums to be released, ‘The Invasion” by P-square, we highlighted the top memorable songs the album entertained us with.

P-square consisting of twins, Peter and Paul Okoye were the bad boys of the industry with their love-themed songs and party anthems.

For almost ten years these two had not just Nigerians but Africans also dancing and crying to their songs. While “Last Nite(2003)” is their first album, “Get Squared(2005)” was where their major breakthrough came from.

They followed through with the groundbreaking albums “Game Over(2007),” and “Danger(2009). “The Invasion” which was released in 2011 was a different dimension that shot the group to greater heights.

Just like its name, the album invaded airwaves and appealed to different demographics and different events. While Some songs catered to weddings, others catered to clubs

With features from Tiwa Savage, Naeto C, Waje, May D, Eva Alordiah, Muna, Akon and Rick Ross, The Invasion album is a well-rounded, diverse album with R&B, reggae, hip hop, Europop, and contemporary highlife influences.

Here are memorable songs from the Invasion album;

Chop My Money ft May D

This wasn’t just a song, it was an anthem that got played everywhere; streets, clubs, parties e.t.c. This song birthed slang and introduced May D who was a newcomer to the spotlight.

Chop My Money was a success thanks to its groovy beat and catchy lyrics which sees a man telling his love interest to ‘chop his money.’

It is the song that helped solidify the success of the album. The remix which featured Akon was also a hit on its own.

Quotable Lyrics

She must chop my money, chop my money
Chop my money, ’cause I don’t care
Chop my money, chop my money
Chop my money, ’cause I don’t care

Beautiful Onyinye

This beautiful R’n’B song had fans falling in love with P-square all over again. While the remix which features Rick Ross in recent times has overshadowed the original, the two versions still carry the same power to melt one’s heart.

The song became a favourite wedding anthem at the time of its release and has gone to become one of P-square’s best and emotional songs.

Quotable Lyrics

“Mommy meh eh eh eh eh
Nne meh yeah see the girl I wan marry
No time no delay eh eh
After all the things I’ve been
Through
I present my love to you
The girl I wan marry eh
The girl I wan marry eh
See the girl I wan carry eh
Na the girl I wan marry”

Forever

Forever is another Afro R’n’B song on the album. The song might not have been as critically successful as “Beautiful Onyinye,” the lyrics were still a delight to listen to.

Quotable Lyrics

“if you were my girl I’ll take you round the world
I’ll take you places where you’ve never ever been before
so give me your hand I’m giving you my world
I promise I’ll be loving you forever and ever”

Asamkpokoto

While the meaning of Asamkpokoto is uncertain, the message is understood. The music duo sing about a girl who they feel is using them but yet can’t help loving her.

Quotable Lyrics

You dey make me want to go Jogodo
Fly away and go sokoto
Call your name Asamkpokoto
I’m going insane (going insane)

Do As I Do ft Tiwa Savage, May D

Another May D feature on the list, “Do as I Do” hits the nail on the head with its features. The song features Tiwa Savage who was just becoming a star at that time and she proved to be the right choice.

Quotable Quote

As a party starter (party starter)
I come here to scatter (come here to scatter)
If you no fit enter (no fit enter)
Make you go get fundamental

And do as I do, do as I do, do as I do eh
Do as I do, do as I do, do as I do eh
As I dey do, you dey do
As I dey move, you dey move
Do as I do, do as I do, do as I do eh

Bunieya Enu

This song became popular not just on the streets but in churches thanks to its gospel-like beat and lyrics. Bunieya Enu which loosely translates to ‘lift him up’ is an ode to God and expresses appreciation and celebration.

Quotable Lyrics

Bunie ya enu
Bunie ya enu
Bunie duya enu
How sweet they celebrate
Bunie ya enu
Bunie ya enu
Bunie duya enu
How sweet they celebrate

Player

Invasion album saw P-square experiment with a lot of genres including Europop and this is evidenced on “Player“.

Like most of their songs, P-square proved that no genre is too hard to conquer on “Player.” The song is a tale of a repentant player who is trying to stay committed despite temptation thrown his way.

Quotable Lyrics

“Brother carry her dey go (carry her go)
Or she go follow me oh (follow me o) eh
Causez I‘m a mother fucking player
Causez I‘m a mother fucking player
Causez I‘m a mother fucking player
Causez I‘m a mother fucking player”

A Twitter User, Akoh had taken to the bluebird app to state that Banky W‘s “Lagos Party” remix is the biggest remix song in Nigeria, however, Patoranking didn’t agree with his opinion.

Quoting the tweet, Patoranking said that his 2014 remix of ‘girlie O‘ which features Tiwa Savage is the biggest.

“Girlie O” was released in 2014 featuring Tiwa Savage and Produced by WizzyPro. The song overshadowed the original which was also released the same year. It would also become the song to launch Patoranking’s career.

Back then, Nigerian Female Rappers were the equivalent to the current Afro-Pop Divas that dominate the music industry presently.

During those period most female categories in Award shows were won by Female rappers. Sasha P was one of the biggest recipents.

In 2007, DJ Jimmy Jatt has released the critical acclaimed song, “Too Much” which featured Sasha P, Blaise, B.O.U.Q.U.I and Kemistry.

Each lady gave their very best and kept the tempo of the song to the highest degree they could. They ere unstoppable indviadually and as a team.

However, as time passed the Nigeria rap music scene has been missing some girl power for a while. This is contributed by a lot of reasons which include the rise and popularity of Afropop/Afrobeat genre and the evolution of the rap industry.

Today, we would be celebrating the Ladies that held the Rap Industry down and gave us hits to remember.

Sasha P

Singer/rapper, Anthonia Yetunde Alabi popularly known in the music industry as Sasha P once ruled the airwaves, from Radio to TV with her amazing voice.

Sasha P thrived in what was considered a male-dominated industry, where artistes dished club bangers that rocked and set music lovers on their feet. The rapper in her heyday was the most prominent woman in Nigerian hip-hop, even bagging the title, first lady of Nigeria hip-hop.

She gained success at a time when there were very few Nigerian women in Hip Hop music. Her success helped pave the way for other female rappers and musicians in Nigerian hip-hop.

Her hit singles, Emi Le Gan and Adara, earned her accolades as she was also extremely decorated and achieved a number of firsts for Nigerian women.

In 2008, she became the first Nigerian female artist to perform at the World Music Awards, and two years later, she became the first Nigerian to win the Best Female Artiste award at MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) and Women in Entertainment Awards, UK in 2009 for single titled Adara.

Since her break from music to focus on her clothing line, Eclectic by Sasha, little or nothing has been heard from her musically.

Blaise

Blaise, born Obafunke Martin Luther, is a Nigerian music artist with a distinct sound. She was born in Lagos but spent a portion of her childhood in the United Kingdom and Ibadan.

She began her rap career as a member of one of Nigeria’s most infamous rap crews, Da Trybe. They gained a lot of popularity with their hit song, Oya.

After the dissolve of Da Trybe, she became a solo artist and paired up with one of her ex-group member’s who produced her number 1 singles, “The Definition” and “Bragging Rights.” After this, she gained a lot of respect and popularity in Nigerian Hip Hop.

She branched out on a solo career in 1999 and got her break-through in 2005, with the album – “BOUQUI” with hits like “Vanity”, “Molejo” and “Get it started”

BOUQUI hit the air waves with a bang when she released her hit track- Molejo. From then she went from glory to glory. Though her focus is on gospel music, this didn’t deter her from making an impact. She has since relocated to the US.

She has released a total of four albums and an EP.
