Spot-on. I'm gonna set aside some time for dissecting those tracks. The chords, the melodies, the arrangement, the arrangement (I know what I'm saying smiley ), the general emotion, the lyrics, the transitions, everything.

Nneka, Asa and Bantu are the best.
I just love their simplicity and how good they are representing abroad. Atimes you forget the fact that they are Nigerians.

Op you forgot to add Kukere(Iyanya), cos CEO dancers danced to it before switching to Oliver Twist(Dbanj)...I recently heard the wizkid's Ojuelegba remix done with Drake, Drake was off-point on the music...
***Modified***...
I was expecting to see Limpopo(Kcee), Akwa ibom(Mish).
