Merry Christmas Nigeria

We cannot deny that there is always something special about this day. Regardless of how crazy the year has been to us as individuals and on a global scale, Christmas remains something to look forward to. 

Though having a religious origin, Christmas has come to unite us above the divisions of religion, race, age, and social class. It is perhaps why it remains one of the most celebrated holidays all over the world.

Today, we join the rest of the world to celebrate this day that has become synonymous with Joy and Peace. We join Christians around the world to celebrate the birth of Jesus and what it means for humanity. We also join everyone around the world to celebrate Family and the joys of it. 

May this day bring us joy and laughter. And more importantly, may it continue to give us the opportunity to be together with the people we love, sharing invaluable moments, creating sweet memories, and sealing them with the music we love. 

Merry Christmas Nigeria

From all of us at Epoh Music

p.s. Did you know Christmas is an official holiday in more than 160 countries, including Nigeria? 

The Best of 2022

You already know whose song will take the most spots on this list, but he is not all we had this year. Like every other year, 2022 has been good to us musically. We have had our ears filled with songs from new and upcoming artists to the giants of the industry themselves. We can also say this was a year of transitions for some of the artists we have previously referred to and new and upcoming artists.

Another thing worthy of note this year is the pen game many artists brought on. You will agree that we have seen music degenerate to a string of words and a good beat in the previous years. However, this year, we had a balance of good lyrics and good beats. And I am positive it will remain that way in the coming years.

The list of the best of 2022 can be as long as we want. However, I have decided to feature just 22 on this list and allow you to fill in the rest. The songs on this list are in no particular order. 

1. Buga -Kizz Daniel ft Tekno

2. Overdose -Mavins, Crayon, Ayra Starr, Ladipoe, Magixx & Boy Spyce

3. Sugarcane -Camidoh ft King Promise & Mayorkun

4. Certified loner - Mayorkun 

5. Ijo (laba laba) -Crayon

6. PBUY -Asake

7. Somebody Son -Tiwa Savage ft Brandy 

8. Attention - Omah Lay ft Justin Beiber

9. Monalisa -Lojay ft Chris Brown

10. Joha -Asake 

11. Xtra Cool -Young Jonn

12. For my Hand -Burna Boy ft Ed Sheeran

13. Soso -Omah Lay

14. Cough (Odo) -Kizz Daniel

15. Asiwaju -Rugger

16. Bullion Van -Seyi Vibez

17. How are you (my Friend) -Johnny Drille

19. Otilo (Izz gone) -Pocolee & Hotkid

20. Girlfriend -Ruger 

21. Palazzo - DJ Spinall & Asake

22. Machala -Caterefe & Berri Tiga

Epoh Music Christmas Playlist is Here!

It’s Christmas month, and you know how it is - we spend the entire month turning up. 

We are two weeks away from Christmas, and I don't think it’s too early to have a Christmas playlist. The whole of December comes with something to celebrate every day. So never waste an opportunity to turn up and celebrate or at least have a good dance. This is the part where I remind you to spend wisely o. 

As we countdown to Christmas, even if your entire year has not been as you planned it, please just take a few moments daily to be grateful. Be intentional about being happy and having a good time this season. And for me, that starts with the right lineup of music. 

So here I present to you the top songs on Epoh music for the Christmas playlist. And no, they are not songs about Christmas. Just quality sound, lyrics and the right amount of vibes. 

• Joha -Asake 

• Xtra Cool -Young Jonn
• For my Hand -Burna Boy ft Ed Sheeran
• Soso -Omah Lay
• Sugarcane -Camidoh, Darkoo, Mayorkun
• Cough (Odo) -Kizz Daniel
• Asiwaju -Rugger
• Bullion Van -Seyi Vibez

The good part is Christmas is two weeks away. I know I said that already. But my point is as many songs as you want can still make it to this playlist before Christmas. Plus, someone might drop a killer song that will go on to top the charts before Christmas. But till then, enjoy this list. 

Happy listening!

5 Concerts You Should Not Miss This December

It’s December, and you already know how it is going down this season. One of the highlights of this season is the mega music concerts /shows. If you've been grooving to your faves music all year round, December always comes with an opportunity to hear them perform live and sing along.

Some people argue that it's pointless paying so much to stand and listen to music you probably already have on your phone or at least can easily download. Well, seeing them live and watching them perform those songs among a community of people that enjoy and love their music as much as you do is worth paying for. Here are five concerts you don't want to miss this December.

Asake: Mr Money With The Vibe Concert

Mr Money has given us a good year musically, and it is only right that he tops it with a concert this December. The concert which is slated for the 22nd of December will hold at the Eko Convention Center, Eko Hotel and Suites.

Wizkid: Starboy Live in Lagos

We barely hear him say anything that is not about his music all through the year, so for his fans, his concerts are a great way to connect with him. And with his line of music, his concert is definitely something to watch out for. The concert which is slated for the 24th of December will hold at Eko Hotel and Suites, VI. 

Burna Boy: Love Damini 

There is no year Burna doesn’t give us back-to-back hits. He is not just a great music artist but also a master performer. This guy too good abeg! However, his concert is in the US on December 8&9 in Washington, DC and Orlando, Florida, respectively. If you are in the US, you know where to turn up.

Pepsi Rhythm Unplugged 

This mega concert presents a perfect cocktail of Nigerian music yearly. If you don't have the money to splash on multiple tickets, Rhythm Unplugged is the right concert to be. The concert is on the 21st of December at the Eko Convention Center, Eko Hotel and Suites. 

Kizz Daniel Live in Lagos 

It has been a Buga year for Kizz Daniel, and I would not be surprised if our mothers turn up for this concert. We all know how they love that song. But that is not all the concert has to offer, and the best way is to find out for yourself on the 17th of December at the Eko Convention Centre.

Well, you don't have to attend all 4, even if you can afford them. You might be too stressed out to actually enjoy it. The good part is these concerts are always available every December so if you don't attend this year, there's always a next year. Just go for the ones you can conveniently afford. Remember January has 90 days, and Sapa is real o.

Peace and Love✌
