The Nigerian entertainment industry has been termed as the largest in Africa and some 5 record labels have stood out in the year 2015 amongst other countless music record labels striving to gain prominence. Check out this list of record labels that have made waves this year:

5. G-WorldWide Entertainment:

This label was shot into the limelight this year after the huge success of its act, Kiss Daniels’ late 2014 released single “Woju” in the first quarter of 2015. With a star-studded remix which had A-listers Davido and Tiwa Savage on it, a street anthem was born, a ‘banging’ tune one could not easily hate and if “Woju” didn’t hit it for anyone, “Laye” definitely did. Just like Davido, Kiss Daniels single-handedly put this label on the map this year and one can only see the future getting brighter for this label considering the talent of another of its acts- SugarBoy. Raba which is a collaborative effort between the aforementioned acts and DJ Shabsy is already a fan favourite and has hit it on certain charts this year and this gives the label the tag of one notable for a mention as an influential record label in the Nigerian music scene this year.

4. HKN Gang:

 


HKN Gang – Certain labels have just a single artiste who does all the “push” for them and although Danagog through ‘Koba’ and ‘Pelumo’ tried to be the other shining light in the label it is visibly evident that Davido’s collaborations, headlines and most importantly singles like ‘Fans Mi’, and most recently ‘Dodo’ was the necessary antidote the HKN music group needed to avoid falling below the standards of making an impact in the Nigerian music scene this year and at such is worthy of having a mention in this list.

1. YBNL Movement

This ‘movement’ as its foremost act ‘Olamide’ prefers to refer to it has been arguably the biggest label in Nigeria this year.
