Top 10 Seyi Vibez Songs
From Headies nominations to hit upon hit, Seyi Vibez continues to defy trends. Here is a look at the top 10 tracks which exemplify his impact, each loaded with meaning, melody, and an unadulterated voice of the street.
1. Chance (Na Ham)
A genuine street anthem, ‘Chance’ propelled Seyi Vibez into mainstream recognition. The song tells it all about drive, godly favor, and the ultimate sweetness of being finally recognized. Lines such as “..make dem give me chance” are a war cry for anybody who’s been counted out. It’s not merely a song; it’s taking space in a world that’s about to shut you down.
With the catchy beat to the religious undertones (“Eje Jesu”), this song encapsulates Seyi Vibez’s art. It is festive and religiously inclined– Yoruba slang-infused with global hustle vibes. The Headies recognized this influence and awarded it Best Street-Hop Artiste of 2023.
The song’s biggest feat? Reaching No. 7 on the TurnTable Top 100 and generating buzz in the UK Afrobeats community. A beat you can touch and words that you can pray–‘Chance’ remains a fan favorite.
2. Karma
‘Karma’ is not only a song, but also a philosophy. The song was written largely in Yoruba, and it dissects Seyi’s life with unvarnished truth. He gives thanks for spiritual wisdom and street-level smarts, adding love and grit. It’s not storytelling; it’s soul storytelling.
The production glows with great instrumentals, providing the ideal setting for thought and worship. From acknowledging God (‘Olugbala’) to rejecting unnecessary drama, ‘Karma’ invites listeners into a mindset of grounded resilience.
Its appeal? It’s incredibly personal, yet highly relatable to a universal audience. Hustling or healing, ‘Karma’ summons your soul.
3. Hat-Trick
If there is one song that comes close to describing him flexing his creative muscle, it is “Hat-Trick”. Unrolled in pure panache of a master artiste, this Amapiano-flavoured track is lean, defiant, and stylishly bold.
In this banger, Seyi name-drops heavy hitters such as Tems and Ayra Starr. He also names checks fake streaming antics; a dangerous proposition in the new music industry. He marries swagger with reality, showing he’s not only talented but savvy regarding the underbelly of the game.
With visuals shot by TG Omori and a world tour foreshadowed in the song’s lyrics, “Hat-Trick” is a release, not just a song; it’s momentum, style, and announcing yourself as street-bred global player.
4. Cana
A softer, more introspective side of Seyi Vibez shines through in “Cana.” The title implies cannabis, but the song resists simple interpretation. It talks about love, religion, redemption through spirituality, and joy in suffering.
‘Can I marry your daughter?’ This street-smart love song folds vulnerability over honesty. He leaves no reference to God, weed, or hardship; everything is of the same emotional planet.
With Afro-infused beats and rich lyrical metaphors, ‘Cana’ portrays Seyi as a lover and a fighter. It’s a gem of a track that renders his emotional depth and lyricism.
5. Different Pattern
This track is exactly what it describes on the tin: a flip. “Different Pattern” explores self-esteem, God’s favor, and grind culture in the only way Seyi Vibez can. It’s the title single from his Nahamciaga EP, and it’s a solid opening with appreciation and determination.
Seyi floats over the beat like a sermon, spitting bars about not “carrying last,” drawing on street smarts and Yoruba proverbs. A recurring refrain, ‘Mo dupẹ l’ọ̀wọ̣ Olúwà’ (I give thanks to God), keeps the energy rooted in spirituality.
It’s a party banger wrapped in purpose. Its blend of street slang, hooky hooks, and catch-beat rhythm makes ‘Different Pattern’ a crowd-pleaser.
6. Man of the Year (M.O.T.Y)
‘Man of the Year’ is Seyi Vibez gifting himself his roses—and he rightly deserves it. He’s declared it officially: the victory wasn’t luck, it was grit, hard work, and believing. The track is an acceptance speech but in song form.
From romantic overtures to money talk and a couple of God bars, this song is celebratory but introspective. He boasts about his success and really doesn’t mind, although he does so in a way that still remains relatable.
M.O.T.Y– pure vindication for everyone who’s ever been underestimated. This song feels like Seyi Vibez planting his flag, saying, ‘This is exactly who I am, take it or leave it.’ There’s something.. something incredibly satisfying about that kind of confidence.
7. Today
Vibez switches gears completely here, boss got all smooth and romantic. The way he blends Afrobeat with those R&B undertones is just chef’s kiss. You can hear him wrestling between wanting love and chasing fame – it’s honestly refreshing to hear this softer side from someone who usually comes so hard. The song reflects on choices in love and the pitfalls of fame. “See as I dey spend like Ezege” shows the way he moves about with the glitzy lifestyle and his inner feelings.
Wanna know what I love about ‘Today’? It is the way it captures that feeling of wanting to freeze a perfect moment. It has this dreamy, in-the-moment vibe that feels so.. genuine. He’s not just about the street stuff all the time. Nice to see.
8. Shazam
This one hits different. The way he sings about timing and trusting the process, that really gets to listeners, is exactly like he’s speaking directly to anyone, absolutely anyone who’s ever wondered if their moment will come. Seyi addresses life’s difficulties with a healthy dose of reality, knocking down superstition and illusion. ‘Not by juju and not by jazz’ emphasizes his adherence to hard work versus hype.
I keep wondering, and I realized that the genius of ‘Shazam’ is how it makes one wanna dance and think at the same time. Not many artists can pull that off without it feeling forced.
9. Top Seyi Vibez Songs: Dejavu
The production on this one is haunting– in the best way, though. You can feel Seyi working through his demons, talking about growth and refusing to let anything hold him back. It’s heavy but hopeful. ‘No one fit block my way’ becomes an anthem of determination.
There is a spiritual feel here, with prayer and gratitude poured into the beat. Seyi Vibez takes you with him on his spiritual adventure as he makes sure you’re vibing with it throughout.
The reason ‘Dejavu’ feels so original is because it’s not only shouting, “I made it.” It’s shouting, ‘You can’t catch me.’
10. Shaolin
Closing out the list in style is “Shaolin,” Seyi Vibez in beast mode. The track, named after the mythological martial arts monastery, uses kung-fu imagery to explain power, focus, and determination.
With a gritty backing video full of hooded fighters and slo-mo kicks, “Shaolin” is an audiovisual knock-out. It shot to No. 1 on the Official Nigeria Top 100 and scooped up Listener’s Choice of the week from Soundcity. This song is a declaration: Seyi isn’t only battling for relevance, he’s taking over the ring. Those vocals are raw as hell, and when you pair that with the street philosophy he’s dropping – it’s like watching an artist find their true voice.
Conclusion
It is not just about hits for Seyi Vibez anymore; he’s building something bigger. These ten tracks prove he’s got the vision and authenticity to cut through all the noise out there. If you’re sleeping on this project, you’re missing out on watching a real one hit his stride.
