1.PYRATED COPY-2shotz
Before the release of this album,everyone was trying to get signed to a record label.no one knew how to be independent until 2shotz showed them the way.he teamed up with biglo to create the infectious hit single “delicious” & then made his way to alaba and sealed the deal with Tjoe thus paving the way for every artist after him.now everyone wants to be independent and no one wants to be on a label where you will be getting ripped off by your boss.talk of total control.

2.THY ALBUM COME-Ruggedman
Ruggedman popularised dissing in Nigeria and also sanitised the naija rap game.previously there were a lot of wack artists out there claiming to be rappers until the rugged one dropped “Thy album come”which featured songs like “ehen pt 1 & peace or war” where he took the bull by the horn and addressed the sorry state of the rap industry without caring whose ox was gored.going head to head with the pillars of the industry back then and putting his career on the line is the stuff legends are made of.now nobody wants to jump on a track and start spitting rubbish cos someone might be watching.

3.P.A.S.S-Eedris Abdulkareem
This album was a monumental landmark in the history of naija rap.at a time when hip hop music was sacrilegous and genres like apala,fuji,reggae & afrobeat had the game in a chokehold,Eedris did the impossible and kickstarted the hip hop movement.”Oko ashewo” the first single from the album was a monster hit and thus started the reign of hip hop/rap in nigeria.

4. C.E.O-DAGRIN
Believe me unlike other albums the C.E.O brought spice and originality to yoruba rap in nigeria. Its amazing seeing the likes of olamide taking after the steps of the C.E.O. This album inspired loads of young men in nigeria to rap/even recognize the genre
