Wande did enough on “Ashimapeyin “, Patoranking’s “My Woman My Everything“, and Flavour’s “ Wake Up (Hololo) ” to merit the list.

15. Tekno

“Duro” is one of the hottest songs out at the moment. Thanks to the talents of Triple MG act Tekno and, of course, Dj Coublon. Hopefully, ultra-talented singer, dancer and producer will do so much more and finally make the jump we expect.
