Best Nigerian songs: The West African region, the continent, and the entire world continue to be affected by the hits that the Nigerian music scene continues to produce.
This year has continued the country’s prolific musical output trend, with major albums from artists like Tems, Aya Starr, Burna Boy and Rema as well as noteworthy alternative releases.
In no particular order, below are the top 5 best tracks that have come out of Nigeria this year so far;
Kizz Daniel, Tekno ‘Buga’
The music video for Kizz Daniel and Tekno’s huge smash “Buga” is shared by both artists. It is just as colorful and vivacious as their utterly captivating song.
Last Last Burna Boy
With the release of his new album, Love, Damini, Burna Boy achieved great success. With the release of the single “Last Last,” which came out a month before the release of his eagerly anticipated sixth studio album, The African Giant made his directing debut. The hit single “He Wasn’t Man Enough For Me” by American R&B singer Toni Braxton is sampled in the song. It is merely a preview of what the legendary performer of afro-fusion has in store for fans this summer.
Davido ‘Stand Strong’ ft. Sunday Service Choir
Nigerian Hitmaker and DMW boss, Davido returned to the music scene after a long hiatus with a brand new song titled “Stand Strong.” The Samples, the group behind American rapper Kanye West’s Sunday Service performances, are featured by Davido on this new song. The song is his first commercially available single of the year. It also functions as a song from his upcoming Studio Album project. Pheelz, a prolific hit maker and producer, created it.
LADIPOE ‘Big Energy’
The summertime anthem “Big Energy” by Nigerian rapper Ladipoe which was produced by Killertunes, has glittering synth arpeggios and is dripping with arrogance and swagger. “Big Energy,” in my opinion, is an actualized Providence EP byproduct. If Providence is the timely planning for upcoming events, then “Big Energy” is what you experience when those events really happen. We didn’t come this far to come this far, which I remark at the song’s conclusion, perfectly captures how I feel.
Pheelz ‘Finesse’ ft. BNXN
Pheelz, a former producer from Nigeria who is now an artist, released the music video for his debut single, “Finesse,” which includes contributions from BNXN. He announced his signing to Warner Records with this Director K-shot music video, in which he is seen flinging bills around a shopping center.
