The first six months of the year 2023 sees so many artistes come together to deliver some exceptional hits. The following is our top 10 collaboration of 2023.
10. Ckay ft Blaqbobez – Hallelujah
Ckay and Blaqbonez come together to deliver this hit, a song whom many believe is exceptional due to the heavy rap lines by Blaqbonez and soft chorus delivered by Ckay.
9. Shallipopi ft Zlatan and Fireboy DML
Following his ‘little drama’ with the EFCC over allegations of internet fraud, upcoming musician, Shallipopi is now back with the remix of his single Elon Musk and this time around he featured Fireboy DML and Zlatan Ibile.
8. Davido ft Fave- Kante
Kante by Davido featuring Fave is another exceptional collaboration. Off Davido Timeless album, this is a song that has to be in one of the top collaboration.
7. Ladipoe ft Bella Shmurda
This is a refreshing tune from Ladipoe’s past songs, leaning more on Afrobeats than on hip-hop. The delivery style of Ladipoe on ‘Guy Man’ is also different from what he had done on any other songs before. Bella Shmurda equally brought his A-game.
6. Asake ft Olamide – Amapiano
The serial hitmaker, Asake collaborate with label boss again with a new bopping new track he called ‘Amapiano’. He is assisted by his record label boss and rapper, Olamide, on this.
5. Olamide ft Ckay – Trumpet
The song is produced by P.Prime and marks the first ever collaboration between Olamide and CKay. This song has to be in our top collaboration of the first half of 2023.
4. BNXN ft Kizz Daniel and Seyi Vibez – Gwagwalada
The combination of these 3 musicians; Bnxn, Kizz Daniel and Seyi Vibez is what we never thought we could see because of their different sounds, yet, the three combined so well to deliver the required vibe on this ‘Gwagwalada’.
Produced by Sarz, the song is a mixture of 3 sounds on a beat and the output of the 3 artistes is a noteworthy mention. This is a good song by all standard and it makes for an impulse listening.
3. Adekunle Gold ft Zinoleesky – Party No Dey Stop
Arguable one of the best collaboration, Party No Dey Stop is a club banger and the delivery by the two artistes is so sweet it makes the replay value on the high side.
2. Victony, Tempoe ft Rema and Don Toliver – Soweto Remix
Though the same beat, the featured artiste inject their own creativity to the song and it brings more freshness into the beat. Rema on the other hand infuse some Indian vibes into the song to give it another level of sweetness.
1 . Spyro ft Tiwa Savage – Who Is Your Guy (Remix)
The first on the list is the song that makes the phrase “Who is your guy?” go viral. The song which has gone viral is Spyro’s rise to stardom and Tiwa Savage seems the best option for him to feature on the remix. African Bad girl as she is fondly called also came through with the necessary ginger.
