Zinolesky kilofeshe no be amapiano

Really ? Did you even hear his first line on the song?

remi1444:
I love the recent acceptance of this genre of music in Nigeria. I've been a huge consumer of this genre circa 2017. IMO the earliest Amapiano contents on the internet were made by Kabza De Small. This man is truly talented at what he does.
Hopefully, Deep In House gets international recognition like Amapiano.

Are you South African ?

Niniola is Nigeria number one artist on Amapiano style, forget trending songs

Lojay - Monalisa
AG ft David - high
Biggest amapiano songs for me this year

Jobig:

No lies bro,you so right.

Synord:


Amapiano is a combination of both the beat and the style . It’s conjunctive .

However our adaptation over here is more of the best , infusing the heavy percussions and strings in our instrumentals .

It's a southy beat and type of song

Egbon by masterkraft and phyno should be in top 4

Nice one, these genre of music are impressive and the difference can be heard and appreciated on the oraimo Freepods 3 which offers an impeccable sound experience. Order yours via the link below my signature...

dominique:
I don't understand this amapiano stuff, is it the beat or the style of music?

Nothing special about it. Its just another localized afrobeat subset.

By the way Toni Tetuila play similar beat when he drop My Car in 2001

The best of the line
Tinubu you don hit my car... Owo repete

Are you South African ?

No I'm not. I'm a Nigerian from both sides.

Mhurfhy:
Amapiano Forever...... Next is Deep In House

See my person. I'd give it to BlackCoffee when it comes to Deep in House. Who's your favourite DIH disk jockey?

Niniola should be crowned the King of Amapiano in Nigeria. It's indisputable.

Focalistic is a wizard of Amapiano production. Ke Star was awesome. He went all out on the latest Champion Sound (with Davido). You just gotta love how the log drum is played in different patterns. And infusion of other enjoyable different effects too. I swear I love Amapiano a lot. Focalistic is a genius producer of this genre. Others are just average producers of it doing their best.

Most people can’t differentiate between house music and Amapiano…. Leave them.
Someone made hottest Amapiano songs in Naija and didn’t add MOBAD’s FEEL GOOD

should have been number one.

For me
Cumin
Bounce

Have no business on this list. Lastly, no amapiano can be like the ones by the S.A themselves. Unless produce by a south african

Wickedest producers in Nigeria
When you talk of ama piano
Pprim
Youngwillz
Sarz
Don jazzy
Pheelz
Masterkraft
Rexxie

YoungBlackRico:
should have been number one.

For me
Cumin
Bounce

Have no business on this list. Lastly, no amapiano can be like the ones by the S.A themselves. Unless produce by a south african

But our producers have done perfectly well

I have all these songs except Wande Coal's Come my way...

I think AmaPiano isn't interesting in any way. We should stick to our AfroBeats is more acceptable internationally and wonderful to the ears.

Mohbad's feel good nko.


i fecking hate d song tho. Makes me hungry
