The List

  1. D’banj
    Won several awards in 2008 including the MAMA’s Best African Act.
  2. Timaya
    His dancehall tracks, especially Timaya, endeared him to so many fans.

  3. 9ice
    First, he left the shores of the country for the first time in 2008. Secondly, he made so much money and thirdly, he got married to his babe. To cap it all, his Gongo Aso has fetched him so many national and international awards.
  4. Naeto C
    He came from nowhere and suddenly, Naeto C is big on the rap music scene. He is certainly going places and winning awards.
  5. P Square
    28year-old Peter and Paul Okoye proved their detractors wrong with Game Over, which had the Do Me track
  6. Mike Aremu
    The numero uno gospel jazz saxophonist (several of his audio files are on AfricanLoft) takes his music to newer heights in 2008 “Arabarabaribita”, a collaboration featuring Sasha is one big smash hit, and a frank reminder that Mike is not just about blowing the sax: he’s also an entertainer.
  7. Olu Maintain
    He came out with his hit track, Yahozee, even had a wonderful perfomance with US former Secretary of State, Colin Powell.
  8. Asa
    The Jailer crooner was just the bomb in 2008; won an international award in France.
  9. Faze
    Faze did not go Kolomental this year, rather, he became more ‘original’ with his ‘Originality’ album.
  10. 2Face
    Innocent Idibia aka 2Face, is still the man of the moment one of few Nigerian artistes that have toured the globe.
