2017 is a exceptional year for collaborations. While the industry dished out enough music that over took the world, most of the exceptional work has come from individualistic efforts. You can find them all in our list for songs of the year. Songs from this list have two or more people combine talent to make inclusive art for everyone. But notwithstanding, a few musicians did come together to make great music. These songs contain dynamic efforts, with all guest acts showing up with the ‘little something extra’ to lift them above and beyond. These are the 5 Top Rated collaborations of 2017. 1. Wizkid Ft. Drake – ‘Come Closer’ I believe this the best collabo for this year. Wizkid made the third records in his romance with US rapper Drake. This time it was for a personal project, off his “Sounds From The Other Side” album. Drake was a no-show for the video, but he wasn’t really missed. Much of the work was already done in the booth. For the video, he was ‘Too mixed up in drama, to go outside.”
2. Tiwa Savage Ft. Wizkid – ‘Ma Lo’ The Mavins First lady Tiwa Savage hit the studio in 2017 with the purpose of documenting her happiness. And once she hooked up with producer Spellz and Wizkid, magic was meant to happen. Tiwa and Wizzy continue their fine collaborative chemistry, winning the year once again with a fresh take on the ‘Pon Pon’ trend. And the hit was rumoured to be dedicated to her husband regarding to there marriage scandals.
3. Ycee Ft. Maleek Berry – ‘Juice’ Ycee ruled 2017 with the melody and slogan of ‘Juice’. Combining his drawling delivery with Maleek Berry’s vocal dexterity, he found the right record to define his year and keep his star shining. This record also contains one of Maleek Berry’s best verses yet.
4. Timaya Ft. Phyno & Olamide – ‘Telli Person’ Timaya as cemented his class in the industy as a hit maker. The dance hall singer got it right again this year. He understands how to turn a great record into a pop hit. This time, he becomes the chief adviser, calling on the chemistry of Olamide and Phyno to blend dance and conscious songwriting. The moment it left the booth, it was a win.
