1. DonJazzy: Producer, song writer, recording
artiste….the list is endless. Apart from his days as
boss and producer for the defunct MoHits record
label which housed one of Nigeria’s greatest
talents Dbanj, and resulted in the creation
of Oliver Twist, one of the biggest tunes out of
Africa yet, the ace producer has also produced
massive hits including Dorobucci (currently
taking Nigeria by storm), Surulere another hit
track, Wande Coal’s The Kick, almost half of Tiwa
Savage’s debut album including chart
topper Eminado. It is no wonder he is referred to
as an enigma. DonJazzy has also worked with other
big acts including Kanye West & Jay-Z, Darey,
Naeto C, amongst others. It is no wonder he gets
our No1 slot.


2. Shizzi: This young man has proven that he’s
here to stay. He was behind Wizkid’s Love My
Baby, Davido’s Damiduro and Harry
Songz’ Taiye Kehinde. Signed under the HKN
Gang, 2013 saw him churn out two massive
hits; Skelewu and Gobe for the OBO himself,
Davido. He was also the producer of Wande Coal’s
highly controversial Baby Face and Go Low.
Remember Maye Hunta’s Ekaette? Shizzi
produced that too. This year he co-produced
Davido’s Tchelete featuring Mafikizolo currently
getting massive airplay as well as MultiChoice
Africa’s Rise Up featuring Davido, Tiwa- Savage,
Sarkodie, Diamond, Mzytikal and Lola Rae. Shizzi
has worked with Sasha, Harrysong, OD Woods,
Naeto C, Sauce Kid, Wande Coal, Wizkid, D’Prince,
May D, etc.


3. Sarz: His talent is evident in the songs he has
so far produced. Jaiye Jaiye, one of my favorite
jams from last year was produced by none other
than Sarz. Reminisce’s street hop Kako bi
Chicken and Ghetto by Shank and Beat of Life
(samba) ft Wizkid are among his list of works. Not
to forget the chart topping Jor Oh by Jah Bless
which became a street anthem back then. Worthy
to note, he also produced almost all the tracks in
Eldee’s Undeniable album, Goldie’s Don’t
Touch, DaGrin’s Kondo as well as YQ’s I Like
Girls. Even more recently, he produced Tosin
Martins’ TGM, Reminisce’s Fantasi and Eleniyan f
Wizkid.


4. D- Tunes: After producing hits like
Iyanya’s Kukere, Your waist, Flavour, Sexy
Mama, etc as well as Sean Tizzle’s Sho Lee, it is
not surprising he won producer of the year at the
headies awards last year. This producer with a
penchant for making hit tracks is the producer
behind Sean Tizzle’s The Journey album which
has been getting rave reviews so far. He has also
worked with other artistes the like of Yemi Alade,
Efa, Mbryo, Faze, Ruggedman, 9ice, TuFace, Tony
Totch, Reminisce, Dammy Krane, Flossick and so
on.


5. Del B: Incredibly talented, his list of songs
alone is enough to acknowledge his talent.
Responsible for Dbanj’s Why Me, Jebele by
Kween, KCee’s Limpopo, an undeniable jam as
well as Wizkid’s On Top Your Matter, Del B also
produced Oko mi by Waje, Seyi
Shay’s Irawo, Baby Mo by Tiwa Savage,
Kcee’s Give It 2 Me featuring Flavour, General
Pype’s Its Ok and another monster
single Shake by Flavour. Orezi’s trending hit
track, You Garrit was produced by none other
than Del B.

What about d other five

6. Masterkraftz: Kicking off his professional
career with Kennis Music, Masterkraft is no doubt
one of the most diverse producers in town. From
gospel to soul to RnB and Jazz, he has has shown
he’s on his game which is why the caliber of artiste
he has worked with is not surprising. Banky W,
Phyno, Flavor, Jaywon, Sammie Okposo, Timaya,
Lynx, Bracket, Capital F.E.M.I, J. Martins and Sound
Sultan are just some out of a long list. His hit
tracks include; Fine lady by
Lynxx, Flavour’s Kwarika (Remix) ft Fally
Ipupa, Girl by Bracket ft Wizkid, Chinny Baby by
Flavour and even more recently,
Timaya’s Ukwu, CDQ’s Ogini ftRuntown,
Iyanya’s Away, Nana by Bracket as well as Banky
W’s Jasi all of which are still getting massive
airplay.


7. Pheelz: In-house producer for Olamide, Pheelz’
production of Baddest Guy Ever Liveth which
contains tracks such
as Durosoke, Anifowoshe, Rayban
Abacha, Eleda Mi, Baddo Love, Turn Up among
other countless hits is enough to take the young
man seriously. Away from Olamide, he has worked
with other artistes the likes of Vector in Popular &
Mo Eazy. Though still young, Pheelz definitely has a
lot to offer.

8. Selebobo: I’m sure he needs no introduction.
Yemi Alade’s Johnny intro is enough to know who
he is. Not just a producer, Selebobo is also a song
writer, artist, dancer, artiste, and sound engineer.
Currently signed to the Ubi Franklin/Iyanya owned
TripleMG, he is responsible for not only Yemi
Alade’s hit track Johnny, but also Flavour’s Ada
Ada and Balance for Me by Dipp. Oroma Baby,
Yoyo as well as Angelina and Say Yeah from the
TripleMG group album were all produced by
Selebobo.


9. Cohbams Asuquo: This list would not be
complete without the inclusion of this incredibly
talented producer extraordinaire. Known for his
ability to create classic and timeless music, it is no
wonder artistes seeking to make career changing
songs run to him. Apart from playing a huge part in
Asa’s highly acclaimed international
album ASA, he has worked with other highly rated
artistes including 2face Idibia, Banky W, Yinka
Davies, MI, Omawunmi, Darey Art Alade, Styl Plus,
Bez, Rooftop Mc’s, Charly Boy, Djinee and many
more. Apart from producing hot tracks like Strong
Ting, If You Ask Me , Kedike, Banky W’s Yes/
No, Praiz Rich and Famous his highly anticipated
first official single titled Ordinary People was
released on the 1st of January this year and it
didn’t fail to impress. Recently, he produced
Dbanj’s Cocoa na Chocolate and Mo’
Chedda’s Destinambarri.


10. Wizzy Pro: Thanks to his collaboration
with Skales, Patoranking and Runtown on his
single Emergency, Wizzy Pro has been rising
steadily. However, away from that, his production
of trending hit tracks like Patoranking’s Girlie
‘O’ (both original and remix ft Tiwa Savage),
Phyno’s O Set ft P-Square, Successful by
Runtown, Phyno & Runtown’s Anama-Achi Vers-
Achi as well as Tonite by Patoranking ft Faze is
enough to show he’s taking the music business
seriously .

Andyblaze:

Fliptyce, maleek berry etc are all fast rising in the game but they aint there just yet..

Flip tyce has a lot of hits to his record more than a few producers u listed on here and has been in the game for a long time too.... have known this guy since 2005.. he's been doing production for big artistes but because u didn't know him then doesn't make him upcoming. ... Notjustok listed him as one of Naija 10 ten producers, so I will assume that ur own list is incomplete

Abeg oo do we have producers in Nigeria?

Iamoilprince: Tspize not there Producer of AYE n GALLARDO! The list is incomplete!

it is surely an incomplete list without teespice.....and jude engees.

Don Jazzy is rightly number one. Dekumzy should be number two. None of the recent party jamz can beat his old but amazing hit track 'Who Get This Thing'. Then, Masterkraft should be number three while others follow.
