YCEE
‘Jagaban’ was one of the street anthems of 2015. When Ycee released ‘Condo’ featuring Patoranking in May 2015, people wondered who he was. When he dropped ‘Jagaban’, the streets were listening. Following the success of this song, he collaborated with YBNL rapper Olamide on the remix.
On January 1, 2015, he won the award for Rookie of The Year at the 2015 Headies. From his delivery and swag, Ycee sure poses competition for some of the already established rappers.

Eva Alordiah
Eva Alordiah is probably one of the fiercest female MCs in Nigeria right now.
