2015

2015 was the year Afrobeats announced itself globally: Wizkid's 'Ojuelegba' earned an unsolicited remix from Drake and Skepta, catapulting Nigerian music onto international playlists. The Mavin Records collective dominated domestic charts, while street-rap veterans Olamide and Lil Kesh sparked dance crazes. It was also the breakthrough year for Kiss Daniel, Tekno, and Adekunle Gold.
