We live in an age where the power of traditional record
labels has waned significantly. These days, Nigerian
musicians operate in the music industry on their own with
backings of sponsors who remain quiet partners.
What led to the demise of record labels is a story for another
day. In this article, NAIJATOPMOST lists record labels that
are still active and whose musicians are at least ‘reigning.’
This is in no way a slight towards independent musicians.
This is just a way of celebrating those who feel the place of a
record label is not dead in the music industry.
1. DMW

Davido Music Worldwide was established in 2016 by popular
musician Davido who after setting up HKN Music with his
elder brother decided to create a label where he could make
all the decisions.
The label has since flourished in less than two years of its
existence.
In 2018, the label has been responsible for a large number of
hit songs released already. It is home to Davido, Dremo,
Yonda, Peruzzi, E-Cool, Mayorkun and most recently
Saucekid.
2. Mavin
Founded by record producer Don Jazzy in 2012, Mavin
records was born after Don Baba J split with his long-time
partner Dbanj.
Their record label Mo Hits’ wouldn’t survive the split hence
Don Jazzy founded Mavin with a number of acts including
Wande Coal, Dr Sid,
D’Prince and others.
This label has also enjoyed significant success in recent
times with its bevy of acts like Tiwa Savage, Korede Bello,
Reekado Banks, Di’Ja, Poe, Johnny Drille and DNA Twins.
3. Starboy
Home to popular musician Wizkid, this label was introduced
to Nigerians in 2013 after the dad of three left Banky W’s
