There is also Johnny Drille. His 2022 single "How are you my friend?" is a good example of meaningful lyricism. This singer and songwriter penetrated mainstream Naijapop without having to lose his depth. This is a great piece. It's good to read this again.

Wow, how did I forget to include JD? XD

Thanks for the feedback, Dami.

I hope more artists start to see the importance of good lyricism.

Spyro's 'Who is your guy?' is another song that went mainstream with good lyrics.
