G-West - Akosua Ft Joey B 

Itz Tiffany feat. Dammy Krane - Give Them Happy to see Itz Tiffany putting out new tracks. Here’s the video for “Give Them” featuring Dammy Krane. “Sagaaa” was nice too.

Eugy & Mr Eazi - Dance For Me Dance video for the new track “Dance For Me” by Mr Eazi and Eugy. They didn’t know how to write “akayida” right but I forgive them. Yes it is AKAYIDA and it does not have L.

Guru - Otu Mani Dope new track by Guru from Ghana prod. by Cashtwo!

Yung6ix feat. Stonebwoy - For Example Another example of Ghana’s akayida style influences in new Naija music. Feeling Stonebwoy’s part and the beat by E-Kelly.

The year 2015 is almost at its end and that means it’s time for the traditional “Best of the year” lists. I start with Ghanaian songs this time. Bisa Kdei and Stonebwoy were pretty much the brightest stars in GH music this year. "Mansa” was easily the no.1 track from Ghana. Stonebwoy won awards at BET and AFRIMMA. Producer DJ Breezy made the beat for Nigeria’s no.1 hit “My Woman My Everything”. Besides listing the new songs I enjoyed playing this year I think it’s interesting to list the songs from the year before that continued to get played in 2015. Most of these were songs that I listed a year ago but there’s also the Nero X hit “Osey” which I hardly played last year but this year it became a huge favorite. Also, for some reason this year I ended up playing the remix to “Wo Onane No” way more than the original which came out in 2014 so the remix got listed even if the original didn’t. Some songs that came out in late 2014 I qualified as this year’s songs. I also decided that songs that came out just recently (for example ”Ekiiki Mi” remix by Wisa & Sarkodie and “Koko” by E.L) will qualify for next year’s list and not this one. BEST OF 2015 1.

DJ Breezy feat. Pappy Kojo - Boys Dey Town New tune from DJ Breezy from Ghana!

Masterkraft feat. Flavour & Sarkodie - Finally “Finally, it’s about to go down”. Interesting to see how these type of beats around 110 bpm that Ghanaian producers have been making for the last few years after the shift from azonto to akayida now seem to be getting more common in Nigeria as well after the success of “My Woman My Everything” (prod. by DJ Breezy) and GH hits like “Adonai” and others.
