Top 5 Naija songs released in August

These songs by your favourite artistes will blow your mind

Despite the impact of the coronavirus on the entertainment industry, the Nigerian music scene remained rather active.

In the month of August alone, about 3 albums were dropped and over 10 singles from several artistes were released into the market. From Fireboy’s “Eli,” “Tattoo,” to Burna Boy’s “Bank On It,” to Tiwa Savage‘s “Temptation”, Nigerian artistes continued to explore their ingenuity and entertain the people.

Among all the songs, below are the 5 songs we consider the best based on the number of airplay they have enjoyed since release.

1. PAMI BY DJ TUNEZ

Top on our list is Pami by DJ Tunez released on the 14th of August featuring Omah Lay, Adekunle Gold and Wizkid. It is a deviation from the regular club hits these artistes are known for. It is a cool vibe with a pleasantly melodic, groovy and reflective tune rendered by some of the best male vocalists in the industry.

It was produced by Blaise Beatz. Two things which make this song super impressive is the collaboration of 4 Nigerian hitmakers and the timeframe within which the artistes put in their parts.

We think it is not an easily forgettable song and could still be enjoyed years from now. The song has now garnered almost 400K views on YouTube.

5. TATTOO BY FIREBOY

Number 5 on our list is “Tattoo” by Fireboy. The song was released on August 12, 2020. It was produced by Echo under YBNL Records.

The song was released not too long after he dropped his hit track “Eli,” which has become a street anthem. Although the song has lewd lyrics with an equally sensual video, the song still managed to please fans.

Fireboy is fast becoming one of the most mentioned artistes in Nigeria as he remains consistent in his production.
