You go to parties and you can't stop dancing. You're wiping sweat off your face and your handkerchief is completely soaked. You can't help but inquire who the monstrous DJ is. It is a fact that Nigerian DJs are known for setting dance floors on fire.

Sometimes, many Nigerian DJs don't get the credit they deserve. They put in a lot of work and make sure to keep their audience turnt. Some of them play on popular radio stations while some of them are seen in high-class functions causing a hailstorm.

One important thing that must also be mentioned is that some of these DJs even feature Nigerian musicians on fire tracks. They drop bangers and help provide a platform for upcoming and emerging acts.
