The year 2022 is gradually coming to an end, and i can confidently say with out batting an eyelid that Nigerian artist outdid themselves this year. From Afro Beats hip-hop and palmwine music, Nigerian artiste dropped some serious banger.

I have heard the premium songs delivered by upcoming and mainstream artistes this year. Many of these songs have broken some serious international records at some points, this year witnessed a musical output Nigerians did not expect.

If your are a lover of Nigerian songs then you will be thrilled with the playlist i have prepared.

These are my best Nigerian songs in 2022 so far, listed below.

RUSH — Ayra Star

The Nigerian song by the talented Ayra Star should be a “Bomb letter to my Haters”. The song embodies many themes and gives the “i nor send your papa vibes.”

SUNGBA — Asake ft Burna Boy

Asake decided to thrill us this year, and he teamed up with the African Giant on this one. This Nigerian song was one of the top afrobeat songs in 2022. if you havent listened to this banger, you should do so, he took afrobeat to a whole new level of “OMO x4.”

BANDANA — Fireboy Dml ft Asake

Nigerian artiste Fireboy droped a fire single featuring Asake. He tells his story on his music journey in the lyrics: “since 06 i’ve been writing this story, music choose me, just know this and know peace” This song is fire, and my absolue favourite line is from Asake versse “dem never see me coming.”

TERMINATOR — Asake

omo!! Asake aka (Mr Money) just blew up the entire music industry this year. He din’t want Nigerians to rest, as he would say (Mr money no de waste time). Dropping hits back to back. and i must say Mr money did justice to this to his album. Many don’t know this but the song is a love song.

KU LO SA — Oxlade

Oxlade gave us his version of english word “Closer” in this thrilling naija song. This song has been trending for a while, particularly on TikTok.

LAST LAST — Burna Boy

“Last last, na everybody go chop breakfast” No one knows for sure what African Giant experience before singing this song, “mans had to say bye bye ooo” do i love it?

Yes, i do!

Burna Boy thrilled Nigerians with this song, “speaking for Nigerian 😂” Listen to this song before you chop breakfast.

COMMON PERSON — Burna Boy

One Nigerian song that has been memefied is this song. I love how Burna Boy tells the African story in his lyrics, and Common Person was no exception which i could resonate.

ORGANIZE — Asake

Asake din’t disappoint his fans when he released his album. The track Organize came out as a snippet a day before the album was released. My favourite line from this song is “some of us are wise every other person overwise.”

Mr Eazi — Legalize

Mr Eazi has officially landed a new title -- certified lover boy. The love song and accompanying visuals for "Legalize" capture the intimacy of Eazi proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Nigerian actress Temi Otedola. The heartwarming single is a hit, and it had no choice as a powerhouse team of international producers gathered to add their flair and expertise. Producers Michael Brun,E Kelly, and Nonso Amadi, all helped Eazi channel his love into it. The music video is set in Venice, Italy, where the couple got engaged back in April.

Naira Marley — Kojosese

Nigerian sensation Naira Marley continues to push his creative talents—this time, taking his turn at dancing with the undead. The artist has released a high-energy, ooky-spooky music video for his 2021 single "Kojosese" to kick off what is expected to be a successful 2022. The song itself took off on music and video sharing app TikTok towards the end of last year, with the garnering over 22 million video views.

Rema — Calm Down

prince of Nigerian music dropped his new album, Rave & Roses, in March of this year. He also shared the lead single from the project "Calm Down," a guitar-led mid-tempo composition produced by Andre Vibez and London. “Calm down is about the events that led me to finding love at the time," Rema mentions. "It started at a party where I saw a girl who stood out from other girls so I felt like shooting my shot. We spoke and danced... but her friends didn’t let me get any closer which killed the vibe, but afterwards when they weren’t there, we stayed in touch and hit it off.”

P.S : i’ll be updating this list stay tuned

“CONCLUSION”

I learnt a few things while compiling this list and i’d love to share it with you.

One is that it is so so evident how Nigerian music industry has evolved and still is evolving for the best.

Secondly, Nigerian artiste are making us proud for real. Nigerian songs have gone global and other countries vibe to our songs.
