2016 was indeed an epic year as fans and critics alike, were treated to all shades of entertainment probably unknown to many. With the year starting of with what could only be termed as the fight of the season to established and fast rising acts snagging international deals, fast rising acts become household names, established ones struggling to keep afloat, mind-blowing singles dropping, tornado-like collaborations being shelved out, albums being released, amazing new acts been discovered and of course, Nigerian sound finally taking its long overdue place in the world music chart…now the year might have turned out not to be the best year, but at least some great songs were released.
