2. OLAMIDE
Viral music sensation, Olamide, remains a frontline soldier on the Nigerian music affairs. Since been certified with multiple awards including Song of the Year on some entertainment platforms especially for his biggest hit of 2015, Shakiti Bobo, 2016 showed promising prospects for the dynamic artiste when international music popstars, Missy Elliott and Ciara endorsed the sound by infusing the widely commercial signature dance style into their performance routine. Remember that Olamide was at the helm of dramatic events that hatched out on the Headies awards stage in the wake of the new year, this feat was an unplanned operation that left on our focus for a period of time. This also happened to be the year that YBNL finally welcomed her first female signee right after formerly signed acts, Viktoh and Lil Kesh ended their two-year contract. Another synonymous thing with king baddo would be his penchant for features. His musical discography contains an almost infinitesimal amount of them, two of which especially have helped him stay afloat the charts this year. ‘Bahd Baddo Baddest’ and ‘Fada Fada’ are feature singles that successfully wrestled his independent releases for top spots on the music charts. Still, we find ourselves grooving to tunes like ‘I Love Lagos’ and ‘Abule Sowo’. Olamide’s songs always come with potential magic in keeping our turn up morale high. There’s the buzz worthy ‘Who You Epp’ – a studio freestyle that turned into viral competition later becoming a nuisance amongst contesting folks and then ‘Konkobility’.
