10. The
Kick by
Wande Coal ft Don Jazzy
Before
the eventual exit of Wande Coal from the Mavin Records, he teamed up like
always with his erstwhile boss Don Baba J on this track that gets you up from
your seat. The song was produced and co-written by Jazzy, made our list of top
ten songs for 2013. From the first word of the lyrics and the beat you are
assured of a fun time. Wande Coal now recording with Black Diamond
Entertainment.

9. Sho’Le by Sean Tizzle
He is
the next rated music star according to HipHopWorld. Seun Morihanfen popularly
known as Sean Tizzle a talented singer and entertainer came into limelight in
the year 2013 with his hit single ‘Sho lee’. The song exclusively produced by
Dtunes is no doubt a major club banger last year. The beat, right on point and
the lyrics well framed with the beat. He was formerly a member of Naija-Ninja,
no wonder Sultan has his credit attached to the song. He is currently signed on
to Difference Entertainment.
8. Oyato by D’banj
Despite
the surprise break-up with his erstwhile friend and music partner Don Jazzy,
Some thought D’banj will not be able to make a hit without Don Jazzy or Mo’Hit
Records; he proved them wrong with a smashing hit titled Oyato. He had a great year,
headlining concerts, shows and made us proud at the African Cup of Nations
closing ceremony. D’banj, apart from making good songs, no doubt gave us some
dress sense. He made some cool collaboration too.
7. Natural Something by Sound Sultan
Sultan
succeeded in making Nigerian guys feel ‘Natural Something’ for our ladies;
without the slaps though. Natural
Something produced by TY-Mix made us laugh and dance as well. Sultan has a
way of combining comedy with music and he did justice to that in this smashing
hit. The video tells it all. He deserves double thumbs up for the creativity.
6. Jaiye
Jaiye by
Wizkid
Wizzy
Wiz...he knows how to carry his fans along; year after year he has kept the
tempo rising with his songs. In collaboration with the four- time Grammy award
nominee, legendary Femi Kuti, Omo Jaiye jaiye was a massive hit in the year
2013. The accompanying video is such an interesting motion picture which
depicts the fun loving nature of Wizkid; giving out cash live on stage. Femi
Kuti gave a top-notch performance with the saxophone. Such collaboration should be encouraged.
5.
Durosoke by
Olamide
Olamide,
Olamide, Baddo...he stamped his feet in the industry with Eni Duro and ever since bobo yen ko duro rara, he kept dishing out
hits after hit. He made a lot of songs last year, we had to stick with Durosoke because his fame stayed up
continuously. From First of All to Turn-up jibing in pure Yoruba; Olamide
got us jumping and dancing. He
actually proved himself to be the Baddest-Guy-Ever-Liveth (BGEL) because he
made street music and got endorsements and not forgetting the Awards and the big
wheels!
4. This
Year (Odun yi)
by Jaywon
Talking
about a song, that will continuously remain evergreen in Nigeria till the end
of time. The lyrics are filled with words that anyone can identify with. The
beat is also socially danceable. Jaywon, the Prince of Kennis Music record label
nailed it with this song title ‘This Year’.
Produced by Black Jersey and co-inspired by Mr. Nomoreloss. For me, I wake
up and sleep with this song because it’s such an inspiration for those who
believe in their dreams. Jaywon also made other good songs this year especially
Madantin and God Sent which featured the Mavin songstress Tiwa Savage.

3. Eminado by Tiwa Savage ft Don Jazzy
The
first lady of Mavin Records teamed up with the Mavin CEO Don Jazzy on this one
tagged Eminado Eminado. The beat was
amazing. With her exotic looks and figure8 she charmed us with a lot of songs
and her performance at shows and concerts. Despite the fact that she got
married, she had enough time in her hands and made heart-warming songs too
numerous to mention.

2. Gobe by Davido
He is
young, rich, energetic and stylish. Davido gave us a hard time choosing between
Skelewu and Gobe. We had to settle for Gobe because the beat and lyrics had a sync
than that of Skelewu. No doubt both songs are club bangers. When Gobe was
released, it kept other songs on the bench. Topping charts and perhaps earned
Davido the endorsement. Double thumbs up to Shizzy, the producer!

1. Baby Mi Da
by Dr. Victor Olaiya ft Tuface Idibia
This
song made the number one because it is a complete song. A complete song, from
the lyrics, beats and to the delivery made a perfect nous. Also, it’s a fusion of
two kings in the Nigerian entertainment industry. What more can I say when
Tuface’s voice is on a track. He took the song to another level. His lyrics
gave the song a modern flavour, you know how guys woo ladies they have offended
knowingly or unknowingly. Dr. Victor Olaiya gave us reasons to believe that he
still has a space in the Nigeria entertainment industry. Kudos to the brains
behind the video, it’s such a splendid showpiece. 
Mr Kilani, Mr Kunle Afolayan, Tuface, Model 1, Dr. Victor Olaiya
