So your life depends on online dating, this generation ehh

Babatunde40:
Nice list. Drake is from Canada. Canadians are already doing hit songs in the US. I look forward to seeing a Nigerian coming from Canada and doing hits in the US. It might be me sha, when i get to Canada. Online dating can help me get Canada link.

I am making progress already with my online dating. I got inspired to start online dating after a Canadian magazine reported that online dating has gone up due to lockdowns and it is the top way people in Canada meet now. People are indoors. To keep themselves busy, they are switching to online dating.

One of the sites mentioned is Bit Mistress (Mostly for Canadian members. See Image below)

I registered. I have being meeting new people. My goal this month is to get 1 serious lover from Canada. Someone to help me escape from 9ja when all this corona stuff is over.

Vector - King Kong, Ycee - Jagaban, Should be on that list.. Reminisce's OGB4IG had more covers than Oleku,

A hit song is the dream of all recording Artistes and musicians worldwide and a hit song with a lot of covers is icing on the cake . More popularity, more market penetration and more publicity for the artiste and their brand .

Today , we take a look at the Top Five Nigerian songs that revolutionized music Covers in Nigeria . These five songs are the songs that had the most impact as regards song covers in the Nigerian music industry .

5) Skibii That's How Stars Do - Former Five stars Act and the CEO of More Grace Records, Skibii Mayana followed up his first Major Hit " Sensima " with the Single " Dats How Stars Do " featuring Teni, DJ Neptune and Falz. The Song was well received by music listeners across the country and soon covers started dropping too. Harrysong, ice prince , Vector and many more artistes jumped on the trend and it soon became a viral sensation on the internet .

4) Mayorkun Geng- Mayorkun's Geng started off as a freestyle in the Studio . The Quebeats Produced Track was Mayorkun's first attempt at making the UK/Grime type of music . On the song , he talks about a relatable topic of social status with hilarious and witty lines , describing the various affiliations youths have decided to be identified with in the present day Nigeria.

The song became a viral sensation and was the first monster hit of 2020 in Nigeria. It was so big Mayorkun had to drop a Geng remix EP that consisted of Geng remix Africa , Geng remix Nigeria and Geng remix UK . The song also landed Mayorkun a Stanbic Bank Ad. Rappers like Vector , MI, Ycee, Sinzu,Falz and many others participated in the Geng cover trend.

3) Olamide Who You Epp- Like Mayorkun's Geng, Olamide Who you EPP was also a freestyle track that was produced and recorded within 30 mins by veteran producer , Shizzi. The song was released by Olamide with the intention of other artistes jumping on the song and a space for at least 16 bars was left on the track to be utilized by artistes across the country .

Head of Notjustok, Ovie O stated during the Who you EPP challenge facilitated by him on Notjustok that over 1000 entries from artistes across Nigeria and Africa were received . The song soon became a hit with covers from.the likes of Chinko Ekun, Phyno, Sinzu, Wande Coal , Pelepele, Lil kesh,Ayo jay , Reminsice among others .

2) Ice Prince Oleku- Oleku was the song that changed ice prince 's Life and made his account go from low to Apex and to become fat and shapeless . Off the" Everybody Loves Ice prince "album , oleku features Brymo and was produced by Jessejagz. The song became an instant hit birthing a lot of covers and solidifying the position of rappers in contemporary Nigerian music industry .


Covers from Vector and Yung6ix became Smash Hits that was instrumental to their careers , Tekno 's Onyenekwu cover of the song got him a record deal , Sarkodie and Mugeez of R2bees also did covers likewise Victoria kimani of Kenya .The song is rated as one of the biggest rap songs ever released from Nigeria .

1) Kizz Daniel Fvck You - Following the release of his Sophomore album" No Bad Songz " under Flyboy Inc , Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe aka Kizz Daniel released the Young John produced " Fvck You " track which was centered around a cheating girlfriend and her activities .

Capitalizing on the storyline , kizzdaniel created a challenge for artistes to bear their minds around the same story of infidelity and tagged it the "fvckyouchallenge " . Label mates then , Lk Kuddy and Demmie Vee quickly released their own versions and then Young John also followed with his own version .

. Drawing strength from it's relatable premise of love ,relationships and infidelity , The Fvck you challenge started spreading like wild fire . Sound Sultan , Rugged man , Pasuma, Qdot, Alao malakia , Tiwasavage , Yemi Alade, , lil kesh , dremo, Falz , Vector , Sinzu , Simi, Chinko Ekun, Reminisce , Mi abaga , Kranium, Wyclef, Ladi Poe , Tobigrey, Eva Alordiah, Sarkodie , Buswiswa and tons of artistes jumped on the trend . Comedians like Bovi, Basketmouth , Ay , Buchi and a host of others also joined on the trend . Not forgetting DJs like DJ Spinall. Even the Governor of Kaduna State , Mallam Nasir El Rufai made a comical freestyle on the song.

. Artistes from China , Germany , UK , America , Austria and so many other European countries were not left out . The song was twisted and refined to fit into various topics like hypocrisy , police brutality, Gender inequality among others and despite the fact that it did not enjoy radio play and Never had a video , it was the number one song in the country for weeks.

Each cover generated controversies like Simi cover where she was criticised for body shaming someone, vector's controversial plot twist, sound Sultan call for revolution and ruggedman's Awakening call as to police brutality .

Kizz Daniel Fvck you remains the only song in the history of contemporary Nigeria music industry that has covers from Comedians, OAPs , Rappers , Fuji artistes , Gospel Artistes , politicians , Normal fun loving fans and tons of upcoming Artistes worldwide and as such is our number one song on the list . Even though kizz daniel teased an official Fvck you naija remix and international remix , it was never released.

How come it is the first one I have never heard of

You even used the word revolutionised.

Mad

light099:
Crap!


The only hit I know which shook the whole of African planet is Awilo Album around 1998 or so. It went as far as Europe and America.
These were days with no twitter or internet to trend a song, yet it crossed borders all the way from Congo. I don't think any other Album can ever shake Africa like that Awilo album that yr.
Awilo dance turned to street madness that year with street littered with everyone dancing. Up till today we never knew what he was singing but the hood created their own local lyrics for the songs.

Churchs were not left out as every church then beat Awilo's drum style. Once the drummer changes to Awilo and intruments follow suit, na dance madness go follow am. Awilo was the greatest dance and music album revolution till date.

awilo no be here oh,its nostalgic for me sha damn those days though

God bless you! You've said it all. Seun and his Admin officers are part of the Nigerian tribalism problems. Nairaland is now a hotbed of ethinicity and religion vitriols.Two major components of the many Cancers ravaging our dear but imperilled country. Nairaland has been reduced to a shadow of its old self where bigotry and hatred reign supreme!

Indomie generation OP with his indomie recommendations/list.

I pray that you would someday have the opportunity to listen to quality music from the past. Beats were pure and lyrics soul uplifting.

Reading through comments I was just forced to log in. Don't you people know what "Cover" means when it comes to music production?!!

This write-up is well detailed and interesting, yet some people from God-knows-where are condemning it. Can't you at least criticize it constructively.

Some people are even embarrassing themselves here, saying Awilo's songs were better hits. Let me ask you this, Is Awilo a Nigerian? Were his songs in English or local dialects? or were they produced in Nigeria?

Keep up the good work Op. Some people don't know what it takes to come up with creative write-ups or topics. Spot on
