- 5. Tongolo, by D Banj
- Back in the day D Banj used to walk around OJb Jezreel's studio at Surulere with a mouth organ. He crashed in OJb Jezreel's living room with the organ in his pockets. Then he went to London, met Don Jazzy through JJC and Tongolo was born. It was an instant hit. This was the song that sent Don Jazzy on the way to production legend.

- Arguably one of D banj's best performances.
- 2. Godwin, by Korede Bello
- The national anthem of the streets, Godwin has passed from hip hop glint to daily idiom for good luck. A song for all at all times, it is now a modern evergreen classic.
- 1. Dorobucci, by Mavin All Stars
- Well, Dorobucci needs no re-introduction. There is little to be achieved from a song that this song did not achieve. Everybody remembers where they were when they first heard Dorobucci.
