<p class="">A prayer, a confession and a prophecy of faith is what Jaywon’s <em>’This Year'</em> offers the average Nigerian.</p>
<p class="">With lyrics like, <em>”We making money this year, no matter what them do things be better this year”</em>, Jaywon captures the everyday plea of the people and stirs hope where there seemingly is very little and who wouldn’t sing along when he promises, <em>”this year, this year, greater things”</em></p>
<p class="">The High life tune mixed with afro-pop was released in 2013 and you can bet that come the early hours of 2019, this will yet again be one of the most played songs on radio and at parties.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Dammy Krane – Amin</strong></p>

<p class="">Released in 2014, Dammy Krane follows an identical template to that of Jaywon as he again arouses a surreal hope of success coming with the new year.</p>
<p class=""><em>Amin</em>Â is simply a prayer. Steeped in simple lyrics and a call back hook, it is a prayer about succeeding in life, and getting what your heart desires.</p>
<p class="">For an artist who has had a fairly inconsistent career, this is one songs that has ensured that his legacy stays intact for a long while.</p>

<p class=""><em>”Oluwa magbegbe mi, I want all this money, I no wan take the same step wey I take last year wey no work for me oh.” </em>No one wishes to repeat the mistakes of the past year and as we usher in a new year, it presents a clean slate for a lot of Nigerians to re-strategize and hopefully get things right </p>
