This single still remains OJB's biggest hit song. Released in 2005 as a strong part of the “Jah My Life” album, the video shows a younger and emotional OJB agonizing over his failed love.
'Pretete' is OJB's most loved club single. The song which came out in 2006, featured rapper A-Bounce, and served as one of the foremost dance tracks during his time.
The video was released as part of the promotion of his 2011 LP "Format". A dancehall number, the visual featured OJB Jezreel delivering his lyrics, with a sexy vixen working her way through with dancing.
Activism was a part of his music, and Afrobeat number, 'One Day' contained all of this and more. The black and white video contained deep-rooted messages of equality and thoughts about the evils of democracy as practiced in Nigeria.
After his kidney problems were temporarily sorted in 2013, OJB returned to music, and dropped this video in 2014. The single 'Not Afraid' talks about his defiance of bad situations, backed by the help of God.
