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
7. Abokina Xdough

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
6. Dr Smith

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
5. IBN

The self proclaimed ‘Lyrcal Maye’ is no doubt one of the most successful
Hausa Rapper in 2016 releasing his debut Project ‘Lyical Maye EP’ in 2016 with
some outstanding tracks like ‘Wiwi’ which is the most streamed Hausa Rap Track on
Spotify and ‘Ina Mazan suke (Remix)’ which is also the most streamed Hausa Rap Track
on MTN Music Plus, and again bags a Best collaboration Nomination at Top Naija

Every lover of Arewa Music has to know Morell, one of the few that took
Hausa Rap to the next level in the Nigerian Music Industry, Morell has a rare
talent which is Rapping and Singing as an Artist, and being very good at both.
He released a viral video for ‘ECHO’ which actually went viral due to the
extraordinary Rap skills he showcased on the track.
3. Dj Abba
Twitter: @Dj_Abba
Dj Abba has since been a name Hausa Rap lovers
knew, but his fame keeps getting brighter, after he released his track totally
which was a Hit and got alot of buzz online. It just seems any single he
releases gets to be a hit in the north.
2. BOC
Twitter:
BOC has now becomes a name almost everyone in the
north is aware of, after releasing his mixtape #NoEnglish BOC became the most
talked about Hausa Rapper in the north. He featured morel & Dj abba among
the few. He got the lyrical skill and Power, he murders any track he gets on.
Just recently released another EP tho it did not receive the buzz No English
got, but yet it has soo many good music on it, I bet u if he continues the good
work, the sky would only be the beginning.
1.
Classiq
Twitter: @Classiq_
Classiq come into 2016 with a lot of flames running
around him, since King-Kong (Remix) which bought his name more recognition.
Classiq so far released more banging tracks in the North than any other act,
From Anfara, to Ban son Reni, to Zauna, to Kawai, with follow ups of some of
the best video in Arewa.
