The Double Wahala crooner who moved recently from Ajegunle to his Lekki home, He is also a proud owner of Range Rover evoque 2014 was indeed a wonderful year for the young man with a lot of endorsement deals, awards and shows. His is a true definition of the topic Grass To Grace!

3. SKALES

The formal EME soldier and revelation of the year award nominee parted ways with his former Boss after which he claimed his contract expired went ahead to launch his ‘OHK’ record with his friend DreyBeatz. Not long after BaseLine Record came calling for the young act signature.

Skales has been in the industry for long, even before most of his current counterparts, he was seen as an underdog not until he was forced to switch genre from his Rap to Party song (Normal 9ja timkpa timpka songs). His breakthrough song “Shake Body” is one of the biggest songs of 2014, Skales is also a proud Owner of a FORD jeep.

4. HARRYSONG

If you have been an ardent follower of Nigerian Music you would know that Mr Songz is not a child in the industry (it have tey). In the early 2000s he was signed to ‘Question Mark’ Records that housed the likes of Mode9, Cino, Triple B, TerryThaRapMan then.

Not much was heard from Mr songz until he got signed to Five Star Music recently. He got his musical breakthrough after releasing ‘Am In Lovee’, ‘Beta Pikin‘ under Five star Music, and he said he made 60 million from Better Pikin. (only God Knows)

“I went to London to shop for belt and sneakers, and someone showed me a car if I would love to buy it, after checking the car I love it and I bought it” Harrysong.

Harrysong is also an MTN ambassador and he also got himself a HUMMER JEEP less than two months ago, no doubt, harrysong would Neva forget the year 2014 in his music career.

5. THE MAVINS (REEKADO BANKS, KOREDE BELLO, DI’JA)

They are the Supreme Mavin Dynasty. These young men and young lady definitely moved from nobody to somebody, before they got signed to the Mavin Record, nobody knew who they were, or where they are, but all thanks to Don Dorobucci for discovering such talents, and they surely had a smooth and wonderful year, headlining shows, winning awards, touring countries etc releasing hits upon hits like Dorobucci, Adaobi, Looku Looku, etc

Reekado Banks won rookie of the year at the Headies award while Korede Bello won newest artist of the year at the Future Awards among others

The YBNL signee also featured ONE of the Biggest act in the Continent in the person of OBO (davido).
