Remix trumps Original




We can all agree that 9 out of 10 times a remix always sounds better than the original, and this is not too far fetched. So here are 12 remixes (old and not so old) that banged more than the original songs. If you don't already have these on your playlist, here is the opportunity to get them.


  • Ycee - Omo Alhaji remix ft Dj Maphorisa

On the 5th of October, Ycee released the video for the remix of his hit banger Omo Alhaji with South Africa's Dj Maphorisa. The south African Dj definately added some spice to the banger. Watch the video here.


  • Mr Eazi - Sample you remix ft Lil Kesh


"If you no mind I go like to sample you"...  First sample of the remix and I was sold. Lil Kesh put in work on this one "Olohun" ! His rap stole the show honestly. Watch this dance video directed by Alex Adjei to the banger here.

  • Alkaline - Ride on me remix ft Sean Kingston


If you know me, you know I'm a huge fan of Alkaline. This remix with Sean Kingston, was one of the best things he could have done to the song. Sean Kingston's vocals are raw and his flows go so well with the beat. Watch the video to the banger here.

  • Kiss Daniel - Woju remix ft Davido x Tiwa Savage

There is no denying Tiwa and Davido killed his track. It is not news that both artistes are part of the best we have in the country. "Gbagbe oshi"....  This is an old one, but if you don't already have it on your playlist, or you took it off re-download it today. You won't regret it!

  • Wizkid - Ojuelegba ft Drake x Skepta

Wizkid ? One word, BLOWN ! This track is evidence to it.. I personally did not exactly flow so much with the original version. But this remix is mindblowing. I as a Nigerian, I'm so proud of wizkid for this. Listen to the remix again today here.

  • Timaya - Bumbum remix ft Sean Paul


First Timaya likes bumbum (don't argue just watch the video, then there was Ukwu), then Sean Paul too. Lol this remix beats all Timaya's songs for that year (2014). If you can't remember the video (or you just want to see big calabash lol) watch it here.

  • Paatoranking - Girlie o ft Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage's vocals give me shivers in this, so strong. Tiwa always delivers strong female vocals on any track she is on. Patoranking and a few other artistes realized this pretty quickly, which is why she features on many remix. Refresh your playlist with this strong tune today.

  • Tory Lanez - LUV remix ft Sean Paul


Sean Paul's vibe on this is really killing. Hands down 100% better than the original. Luv is off Tory Lanez most recent album "I told you". I bet you didn't know there was a remix.. Hehe me too (or maybe I'm just late..). Oh well, vibe to this here.

  • Tekno - Duro ft Flavor x Phyno

The best people were selected to feature on this remix. The original song was banging with us for so long, we skipped out on the remix. This remix trumps the original hands down. Phynos touch on his verse, short but precise!. Listen to the remix today  and tell me it didn't bang (so I can shoot you lol).

  • Humblesmith - Osinachi remix ft Davido


Produced by Mixta Dimz, this controversial song came with a lot of baggage straight after Davidos baby mama drama. Still, the song is chilling and even though the original song with Phyno was really good, this is good too. No reason why this still shouldn't be on your playlist. Listen today.

  • Wandecoal - Wanted remix Burna boy

Its not news that Wandecoal and Burna boy are a good pair. The best part about this remix is how they made the beat a bit more uptempo. Its lit honestly, way better than the original (well I guess that's why its a remix). If you need to remind yourself about this one, listen here.

  • Reekado Banks - Oluwa ni remix ft Sarkodie 

Honestly, Mavin producers do not get the credit and recognition they deserve. Did you hear the beat on this ? Aside the beat, the vocals, Reekado banks is good! A good investment on Donjazzy's part. Sarkodie definately added a lot of his swag to this track. Listen and judge yourself today.


Now that's done, can we talk about why Tekno and Dammy krane are yet to make a hit together ? Honestly we need that energy. 2017 maybe?
