Yaro Mai buta as he is mostly called by his fans had a great year in
2016. Thanks to the collaborative track with BOC which is one of the best Arewa
Collaboration in 2016, he went on releasing fresh tracks back to back with his
strong Rap style. He also released his Debut Project ‘Ruwan Buta Album’.

The American based rapper is no doubt one of the few Hausa Rappers that
have Global presence for their music. On of his track ‘Girma’ has a very high Number
Of sales on iTunes and the Video is one of the biggest/Best videos to come out
from a Hausa Rapper in the whole of 2016.

Kheengz dropped some hot stuffs in 2016 the likes of Panda/Who you Epp
cover which video enjoyed Airplay on some top TV stations in Nigeria and Africa
at large, Hakane another hit by kheengz has a tremendous amount of downloads. I
have to say, we are yet to see the best of kheengz yet

Xdough is no new name in the Hausa Rap niche, but what’s new is his
contract with Arewa Mafia managed by classiq, he has released soo many outstanding
tracks in 2016 the likes of Nine which received tremendous amount of downloads and his debut track under Arewa Mafia ‘
Yallabai’ which featured classiq himself. Xdough is definitely the artist to
watch out for in 2017

The bulla coroner is exceptional this year, delivering one of the
hottest street banger which is still trending in the north ‘Bulla’ with a very
nice follow up ‘Worry them’, he has but very few releases in 2016, but we hope
more will come from him in 2017
