Peruzzi – Gunshot

I must say i was not that impressed by this particular song when Peruzzi first released it. My first thought was; Its same Peruzzi sound all over again, so i did not pay it much attention until i saw Oxlade the Liverpool player sing along to the song on his Instagram page and then i was like maybe it is not that bad listened to it again and i got caught up. Long story short this is certainly a sweet song and if you are a twerker, lets just say you will love this one.

Olamide – Wonma!

It is no news Olamide is a certified hit maker and with this morale you will have to think maybe he will never relax. Wonma is an amazing tune from the Baddo himself, basically different from everything out there or anything you would expect from him in this times of Zanku music. Wonma is an absolute dance hit and club anthem. This will definitely grow on you.

Rema – Beamer (Bad Boys)

As i write this article this song is still the number video on Youtube Music since release its been trending number 1 in streams, i had my doubts about the song becoming huge but it turns out i am wrong this is most defintely a January hit as Rema’s fans are really eating it up. The song features Rvssian with a dope ass dance hall fused with an Afrobeats beat it is a masterpiece no Arguments.

I don’t know about offline but online almost everybody agreed this is the best Afrobeats song released this year so far. And you know it is Wande Coal he does whatever he wants with music, it does not matter whatever genre he tries to do, what he does is kill any type of sound you give him. When it comes to melody i am sure you have not heard anything like this recently. Again is a tune for ages and i promise you will be stuck on the song for weeks.

If you are a Marlian well, you will not be disappointed by this new joint. Matter of fact if you are a Marlian you must have heard the song already.

Zlatan seems to not be relenting anytime soon. He comes back with this new single to launch the new year, the title sounds funny and unserious bu this is obviously a club banger, the comical parts of the lyrics will certainly help the song achieve more commercial success, he featured several new acts on his label to be this song. With a superhook and funny verses you will enjoy the music.

Rudeboy – Take It

The ex P-square member seems to be on some hit spree. Since last year it seems Rudeboy i have discovered a certain cheat or trick in making hit songs as a solo artist since the breakup with his twin brother Mr. P, he struggled in 2018 trying to drop a major hit  but he never did, in 2019 he dropped several number ones and now he seems to be continuing the thread this year. 24 hours after releasing the song officially with visuals it trended on twitter for a while with everyone praising the visuals.
