As the year draws close to an end, Mp3bullet.ng have compiled a list of Top 10 Naija songs for the coming Detty December.
This list includes songs that dominated the streets and clubs and have become most DJs’ favorites.
It contains songs from Davido, Wizkid, Mayorkun, Zlatan, and others.
Lagos Anthem- Zlatan
While 2019 was a good year for Zlatan, the beginning of 2020 was a slow burn for the Zanku artist. Though he released an EP, “Road To CDK”, the EP didn’t fare well with songs like “The Matter” and the “Unripe Pawpaw” gaining traction.
He however bounced back with the P.Priime-produced “Lagos Anthem”. The song has led to the popularity of the street slang, “Money no dey Lagos”.
This song is sure to be on a lot of DJs’ playlist due to its groovy beat and catchy lyrics.
Cashapp- Bella Shmurda ft Zlatan, Lincoln
Bella Shmurda is one of 2020’s breakout stars who have gained massive traction this year with his fuji-style kind of singing.
After his 2019 hit song, “Vision 2020” blew earlier in the year, he released his “High Tension” EP. The fast-rising star went further with dropping the street banger “Cashapp”.
Despite the song being criticized for promoting fraud with its lyrics, people can’t help but groove to it whenever it comes up. The song has the potential to dominate December the same way “Able God” did in 2018.
KPK – Rexxie X Mohbad
Marlian music artist, Mohbad despite releasing songs like ‘Overhype’ early in the year didn’t really dominate airwaves.
Things changed after his collaboration with Music Producer, Rexxie dropped in the second quarter of 2020.
The song titled “KPK” is off his “Light (Imole) EP. The song has led to the popularity of the term, “Ko Por Ke”.
Loading- Olamide ft Bad Boy Timz
After taking a surprising break from releasing an album in 2019, Olamide dropped “Carpe Diem” in October 2020. One of the songs to gain traction is “Loading” featuring the fast-rising star, Bad Boy Timz.
The song sees Olamide and Bad Boy Timz create magic on a P.Priime’s beat. The song is reminiscent of how Olamide always dominated the Festives period with his street bangers.
Magbe- Qdot ft Patoranking

Off the album, “Magbe” is one of the trending songs dominating the streets. The song features dancehall king, Patoranking who showed versatility on the track and was produced by 2Tupondeebeatz.
Your Body- Mayorkun
Mayorkun has a good run this 2020 with hit songs like “Geng”, “Of Lay Lay”, “Betty Butter” and is one of the most featured artists of the year.
The singer is loved for his catchy lyrics and wordplay which seem to add extra sweetness to a song. To round up the year, the singer dropped a surprise song, “Your Body” which also didn’t disappoint in catching listeners’ attention.
Abule- Patoranking
Patoranking had a good run with the release of his “Three” album. However, he released the lead single, “Abule” before that.
The song pays homage to Patoranking’s humble beginnings, The Ghetto. He goes on a nostalgic journey of activities that occur in the hood.
The song is produced by the fast-rising music producer, Telz.
Fem- Davido
After going offline from social media for almost three months, Davido returned with the hit banger, “Fem”.
The lyrics are aimed towards Davido’s ‘haters’, though the song was reportedly said to be a diss track to Burna Boy.
