airwaves.


10. Burna Boy
Damini Ogulu (born 2 July 1991), better known by his stage
name Burna Boy, is a Nigerian reggae-dancehall singer and
songwriter. It’s no longer gist that he Boy left his former label
that brought him to lime-light, Aristokrat records.

Entertainment. He was nominated for a couple of awards but
ended up losing out on both.

act, Lil Kesh, to his label, YBNL record. The 18-year-old Lil
Kesh, who is also a rapper, released his hit single, titled ‘Shoki’
which was widely received among Nigerians this year. Though
he was not given the rookie of the year award at the Headies,
it is certain that Lil Kesh should have a solid ground in 2015.


8. Sean Tizzle
When Sean Tizzle won the “next rated” musician award in
2013, many tongues wagged, but in 2014, the 25-year-old
artiste was able to shut the wagging tongues when he
bagged the Best Pop album of The Year award during the
Headies, with his Album “The Journey.” He also became an
MTN ambassador and performed at major events during the
year. Big ups to him, he has kept the hustle real, releasing his
debut album and some classic videos off the album. His
album titled THE JOURNEY was dropped under his record
label – Difference Entertainment – managed by the Real
DTunes, a renowned producer in the industry.


7. Olamide
Yeah, back to the street of Bariga, The King Baddo, himself
with the YBNL crew had a great 2014 and are still much in the
game. They created SHOKI, they trended it and here it is,
almost everybody is dancing it. Olamide’s songs; AWON
GOONS MI and STORY FOR GODS made our best naija songs
for the year 2014. Baddo, as Olamide is popularly called,
dropped his fourth album titled STREET O.T, which was
among the best-selling naija albums for the year 2014.

from the Once Upon a Time album, prompted a huge public
backlash across various social networking sites, including
Face book, Twitter and YouTube.


2. Phyno
When Phyno released his No guts no glory album, it was sure
that the rapper was set to take the industry by a storm.

Olamide, Chidinma and others, there was hardly any major
event that Phyno did not perform at in 2014.In August 2014;

Black campaign alongside Olamide and Eva Alordiah. Phyno,
who is known for rapping in Igbo language, reiterated that he
raps in Igbo because he respects his culture and loves being
himself.

1. Davido
From winning the Best African Act (BET) award to the MTV
EMA awards to the Headies awards, award- winning musician,
Davido surely had a good year.
During the Headies awards last week, Davido went home
with two awards as the Song of the Year and Artiste of the
Year categories. Davido was also a big winner at the 2014
NEA Awards which held in New York, USA. The ‘Aye’ singer
