What makes a good album these days? Does it have to follow a particular theme? We asked a couple of industry insiders and music lovers, and this is what they told us.

Nigerians are talking about the songs that made them fall in love with Nigerian music. What song did the trick for you?

Everyone knows @olamide is a hitmaker and he’s proven how much of a badass he is with how well he bodied each of these features.

You already know @asakemusik’s Sungba is a bop. But do you know why it’s the best song in the world?

From @asakemusik and @Olamide’s Omo Ope to @skiibii and @davido’s Baddest Boy (Remix), these are the biggest Nigerian songs to drop in the first quarter of 2022.

Who did we miss?

If you remember the lyrics to Weird MC’s Ijoya or Soty’s Malaria, we strongly advise that you start considering marriage because time is clearly not on your side.

“Nobody has replay value like Rema. If you like, pretend you don’t like the song now, it will follow you like Nepa bill till you learn all the words.”

Here’s what everyone is saying about Rema’s FYN.

Nigerian musicians: “Folake, pakurumo”, “Folake, for the night o”, and “Folake, give me love.”

Are you people not tired? Leave this babe alone. #Justice4Folake

Fela might’ve started a movement with Afrobeat, but let’s not forget women like the Lijadu Sisters and Salawa Abeni who kicked ass back in the day. It’s officially Women’s History Month and we have no choice but to stan these iconic queens. Who did we miss?

Did someone say Asa just dropped new music? Hell, yes! And trust us, we have all the cool gist about her hot new track, Ocean.

We’re slowly building up our playlists for Valentine’s Day and these covers are so good, we fear they might rival their originals. Who did we miss?

What is your favorite @adekunlegold song? Before we dig into his new album, we took out time to rank the best AG songs and omo, AG Baby has always been our baby.

If you are younger than 25, don’t expect to smash this music quiz:

You know how Fireboy’s Need You sounds almost like Ed Sheeran’s Tenerife Sea? We’re not claiming to be prophets or anything, but we knew they would collaborate before Peru even dropped.
Did we miss any other collab?

If you were in secondary school or university when any of these songs came out, then, dear, maybe it’s time to get married.

As we say goodbye to 2021 aka 2020 delta variant, we have decided to spice up your playlists with some of the best alté songs that dropped this year. Don’t say we didn’t do anything for you this Christmas.

Nigerians rinsed Amapiano like crazy this year, so we decided to rank the best songs that dropped in 2021. And no, Ke Star remix is not number one.

What do artists like Naira Marley, Teni and Olamide have in common? Well, maybe its that extra fuji sauce that makes their music bang all the time.

While the rest of the world might be whining their waist to Essence and screaming “you don’t need no other body”, day ones like us who knew Wizkid when he was wearing carrot jeans have decided to rank his best songs.
