(Top Nigerian Music Producers of 2020..) Same last year, our sound got heard on the other side heavily, we experienced the wave of new sounds, the Afrobeat infused into Amapiano sound, and even pop street sounds. Music gained mainstream acceptance and things became better that precious year, we record international features, joints and Buzz.
Naturally, we credit our artistes for all the good works, we adore them for meeting our musical yearnings and give them the respect that is meant for the ultimate provider of the music we listen to, but we often forget that without the sound, there is no music.
