The Mavin next-rated Reekado Banks act has been on over 25 songs in the last 12-18 months, with songs like Katapot, Sugarbaby and Corner becoming fan favourites.

14. Wande Coal

Wande did enough on “Ashimapeyin “, Patoranking’s “My Woman My Everything“, and Flavour’s “ Wake Up (Hololo) ” to merit the list.

15. Tekno

“Duro” is one of the hottest songs out at the moment. Thanks to the talents of Triple MG act Tekno and, of course, Dj Coublon. Hopefully, ultra-talented singer, dancer and producer will do so much more and finally make the jump we expect.
