The singer came from virtually nowhere to wow us with a hit song 'Champagne showers'. What makes him special is that unique voice he's got going for him. You simply can't shake it. You could categorize his style as a fusion of Fuji, trap and Hip-hop.

Sugarboy - Hola Hola

Arguably, the biggest party song of 2016 from the G-Worldwide Entertainment act Sugarboy, ''Hola hola'  got the guys popping bottles in the club and not looking back. The song gives off that good celebratory vibe that caught on everybody like wildfire.

Phyno - Fada Fada ft Olamide

This Phyno fino song also gets people going wild as soon as the song comes.  'Fada Fada eh' , a popular line in the chorus goes, rocking every club, joint and street corner you can imagine. The song is  up for 'Best Pop single' and 'Song of the year' at this year's edition of one of the biggest awards in Nigeria - The Headies.  

Koker - Kolewerk remix ft Olamide

 

Chocolate City artist Koker drops a street friendly tune in 'Kolewerk', and has been rightly so voted Best Street Hop artiste at the Headies 2016. Koker understands the pop culture and knows how to use it to his advantage to serve up those relatable songs.

Mr Eazi - Sample you remix ft Lil Kesh

'Zagger that', the signature phrase by Mr Eazi which goes along with all his songs including the collaborative effort with YAGI rapper Lil Kesh. Dwelling on the female folks in this song, the guys found it easy to relate with the song.

Baby Fresh and Reekado nailed it on this record. Essentially, Baby Fresh engineered the likeability and party-readiness of the song, fans also picked on a couple of lines in the chorus to make sense of the song and own it.

Ajebutter 22 - Bad gang ft Falz

 

Ajebutter rides on comic relief and Falz is no stranger to that concept. They take a pop-culture topic and turn into art of music. And it easily becomes a jam with the rhythm of the song.

Rayce - Wetin dey remix ft Davido

D'banj takes advantage of the dope beat produced by a certain Orbit producer, going in on the Fela-influenced Afrobeat sound.

The 'Osinachi' crooner made it a double hit with this highlife record which Flavour rightly perfected as a featured act. It's a feel good song that passes for a dance track.
