Covibes Top 10 Nigerian Music Producers

For the first time, Covibes is releasing the list of top popping Nigerian producers purely based on data. Yes data.

We combed through Boomplay Charts to understand the most listened to songs, the ranking on the chart, the producers behind them, and the number of appearances each producer made. We mixed all these together and brought out the Top 10 producers for May. Enjoy

Killertunes and Oscar

The top streamed songs in Killertunes’ catalogue for the month of May are Beginning — Joeboy, Soapy — Naira Marley and Worry — Lyta.

Oscar is the genius behind many of Simi’s songs. His top streamed songs are the amazing Duduke, Joromi and Complete Me all by Simi.

Blaq Jerzee and KO

Blaq Jerzee produced Opo ft Wizkid — 2baba and the newly released I no go give up on you — Mr Eazi.

Beats by KO represents the new crop of producers now in the industry. His songs have been doing the charts. His songs are Don’t Call Me Back and All for You by Joeboy.

Just like KO, Dera and P.Priime also represent the new crop of producers on the block.

Dera’s popular songs that earned him a place on our top 10 list are Baby and Call by Joeboy.

While we were quarantined, P.Priime continued cooking stuff working on Isolate ft DJ Neptune — Teni, Unripe Pawpaw — Zlatan, and the song we all love Like I do — Fireboy DML.

Young Jonn

Young Jonn has the following trending songs such as Let them know ft Tiwa Savage — Joeboy, Mafo — Naira Marley and O por ft Naira Marley — Lil Kesh.

Cracker Mallo

Cracker Mallo vibes very well with Fireboy DML creating the following songs with the young star; Feel, Energy, Jealous and Omo Ologo.

Rexxie

His roster includes Aye, Dibo Lobo, Soapy (in collabo with Killertunes and Studio Magic) Pxta , Isheyen— Naira Marley, Anybody — Burna Boy, Quilox —Zlatan (in collabo with Mansa Jabulani), and Yeye Boyfriend — Zlatan.

Pheelz

If you’ve never heard “Ridimakulayo” in any song, then you’ve been listening to the wrong thing. Mr Pheelz has been rolling out hits and bangers consistently for a while now. Here are his songs that are currently enjoying consistent play.

  • Energy, Wait & See, Scatter, High On Life, Need You , Gbas Gbos , What If I say — Fireboy DML
  • Billionaire — Teni

What We Noticed

  • Some producers don’t take their brand seriously by insisting they are credited for their work.

Loophole

  • We didn’t consider the number of streams each song has across all major streaming platforms, partly because of its public unavailability. We will work on this in the coming series.
