Promise we all know is an Afro-alternative song. It contains lyrics from both Adekunle Gold and his newly wedded wife, Simisola.
The song talks about the deep love the exist between the duo. Justice was done on the video showing a wedding sense and the two confessing their much affectionate love to each other.
What perfect video can best describe a perfect wedding being held at the beach. The PR for this video was what stunned me.
At first people thought the video was just a visual for the duo’s song PROMISE, but never knew the video doubled as a visual to tell the world that they are now a couple.
The melody of the song wasn’t bad, tuneful and memorable. It also did well to blend with the rhythm of the song to produce a pleasant harmony.
The video gallantly having over 3 million views on YouTube shows that the couple are still very much relevant in the music scene.
7. Small Doctor – Believe
This video was definately the most talked about video this year. It’s been a long time the industry witnessed this quality of video from a street act.
The entire video is just too captivating to watch. From the costume to the dance choreography and of course that mad intro where Small Doctor was driving a van on the high-way.
Also the choice of location for the video resonates very well with the costume.
Music video director, “The Alien” did a very wonderful job on the video productions and of course Small Doctor himself input a whole lots of energy in it.
8. Naira Marley – Soapy
Apart from being the most-controversial and highly expected video of 2019, Naira Marely‘s “Soapy” video is no doubt a creative piece.
The video gave us the perfect visual description of NM‘s day-to-day life while he was rock n rolling in the Anti-graft custody.
With the prison concept, costume and choice of people who appeared in the video, music video director, TG-Omori aka Boy Director did very well with whole concept of the video.
It might interest you to know that Naira Marley‘s SOAPY video peaked No. 1 trending video on YouTube for several weeks after it was released.

Totori video was shot and directed in Lagos by the in-demand videographer, TG Omori, director of the ‘Am I a Yahoo boy’ video.
The music video appears to have a plain theme/concept: A live Broadcast named after the song itself. A live Broadcast named after the song itself.
The broadcast then finally started as Olamide and Wizkid took turns in delivering their respective verses on the song to the eager audience.
It was not long before the spirit of jubilation came upon both the children and adults present at the venue of the broadcast, as they appeared to b,e very pleased with the message of the much-anticipated broadcast.

10. Naira Marley Ft. Zlatan – Am I A Yahoo Boy
This list will be incomplete without this controversial video.
The concept of this video is so dope to the extent that EFCC had no other choice than to arrest Naira Marley, Zlatan, Rahman Jago and co after its release.
Not because they showed that they are Yahoo Boys, but the concept of the video showed EFCC what to do in the midst of controversies about whether Naira Marley is a Yahoo Boy or not.
The armour tank costumes, arrest scenes made the video worth everyone’s data at that time.
The End!!
