According to my iTunes count, Kiss Daniel’s ‘Laye‘ leads with an astronomical margin. That song ehn! Jam of laive! Orgasmic! Played it almost everyday. An orgasm that long will require surgery. (An Hausa worship song comes second but it wasn’t published this year).

4 of the songs are by my guy – Falz Tha Badt Guy. Anyone who ever doubted his musical prowess (and I must add – genius) should listen to Chardonnay Music (Ft. Poe, Chyn). It’s hip-hop meets jazz meet beautiful storytelling.

And this correct Gospel song – Osinachi by Humblesmith ft Phyno. The devil sef cannot resist dancing to this song.
Harrysong – Reggae Blues. This one is the ultimate kegite jam. Every time I hear it, it reminds of the University of Ibadan days when Damilola and I do our Thursday-Thursday frapapa at UI kegite club. We lived for that Thursday, after behaving like proper students, as much as possible, during other days. We weren’t official members but kegite offered a chance to exhibit cool undergraduate truancy.

There’s a guy called Johnny Drille that covered Di’ja’s Awww. That brother sabi sing. Him voice ehn! Find that song and faint!
Salambala by Wizboyy ft. Phyno. I discovered this one for one kain Port Harcourt joint when Ajay dey carry me waka-waka around that city. Na the intro guitar killed me. I just record am and returned to Lagos to start looking for am. I no know shingbayin of wetin dem dey talk. But correct jam!
Duro – Tekno. Well, any song named after my Yoruba name has to naturally blow. Yemi Alade did too. Her song blow!

Araromi by Beautiful Nubia; Typically folkloric. God bless him and his guitar. (Thanks for pointing me to this, Tosin)
Not sure which should be my song of the year. But this one ehn! It just came out; the ultimate hustler’s anthem. It’s a song of supplication to God, asking him to pick an important phone call. Dude says Dangote and Otedola no get two heads, say him sef wan drive Bentley. lol.
Correct chorus. You see ehn, I dey look at this Adekunle Gold one-kain-one-kain. I dey wonder what he’s about. I no too send “Sade” (but Sam like am die), I send “Orente” small sha. But this “Pick Up” song na jam raised to power 1000. It may not get mainstream but na sweet song. Maybe I like am because me sef wan hammer so I fit dey wear white agbada like a Lagos big boy.
