Mind Blowing Collaborations

When Nigerian music was at its infant stage, everyone thought collabos were a waste of time and that it took away the spotlight from the owner. Now, collabos are the in thing. Every Nigerian artiste should have at least one collabo to his or her name. Collabos are now a fast-growing trend between artistes and it also signifies unity. Nigerian collaborations are known for spreading unique messages. Below is my list of mind-blowing collaborations done so far in Nigeria.

KEFEE and Timaya’s  Kokoroko

Kefee

 Kefee and Timaya truly went ‘higher and higher’ with this hit gospel track. Kokoroko is a song that appreciates Gods love in Kefee and Timaya’s unique style helped profile the song. Little wonder the song fetched several awards for Kefee.

DJ Jimmy Jatt featuring Tuface, Mode 9 and Elajoe in Stylee

No one can forget this song. I fall in love with Lagos over and over again each time I hear this song. It is indeed a timeless piece and the artistes were at their best with this hit. This song says a lot about Naija in the sense that we do every thing in our own style.

Faze and African China’s If you love somebody

Trust Nigerian artistes to always motivate you with their songs. You really don’t have to go to big seminars and listen to big time motivational speakers talk to you before you feel good about your self and approach a lady, Just listen to this hit track from Faze and African China, and you will get the same result.

Sound Sultan and MI’s 2010

Government and politicians who make big promises they won’t keep had better run far away from Nigerian artistes because these promises make viable materials for lyrics.

In this song, Sound Sultan and MI attacked the government and reminded them of the promises they made concerning electricity in 2010. We just love them for these. What better way to remind the government than using music sang by the talented duo of Sound Sultan and MI.

Tuface and 9ice Street Credibility

Tuface: We always peacefully do it very nicely

9ice:   I’m made on the streets, why I no go blow

Of course we believe you guys. This song represents Naijas hood life and we are still loving it, we just can’t stop. We are still waiting for 9ice’s Grammy.

Naija All Stars- My Pain (Tribute to Dagrin)

We lost one of our promising musicians at a young age but Dagrin’s memory is ever green in our hearts.

Nigerian All Stars put together this beautiful song for him as a tribute. Omawumi, Eldee, Banky W and others sang their hearts out for their friend and colleague. Kudos to you guys

MI featuring TuFace Nobody

Seriously, if nobody talks about you, then you are nobody. What more do I say. That single line explains it all. MI and Tuface did not mince words at all in this song. This song encourages one as well as entertains. Our artistes are really mind blowing. I mean who saw this coming?

J Martins and P square E no Easy

‘Even if you no get money, dey jolly dey shake body’ what better advice to give Nigerians than this coming from P-Square and J Martins after all, you can’t kill your self.

This song is very meaningful, I mean if you can’t change a situation, you might as well have fun with it because every thing is vanity.

9ice and Asa, Pete pete

Pete pete is not just a song, it is also an advocacy and it mainly talks about the state of things in our country and those who make things worse.

Asa

Pete Pete calls on the youth to rise and change things for the better. The coming together of these two is simply mind blowing and the song is perfect.

Eedris Abdulkareem and Ruggedman’s Koleyewon

Eedris

 No one expected Eedris and Ruggedman to come together. They did and it was amazing. This song puts all Eedris criticisms to rest. Eedris answered questions with this song and Ruggedman also confirmed their friendship. In his own words, ‘this is an unexpected collabo’
