Hit Song

On this episode, we dive into the biggest conversations in the culture right now. We talk Billboard labeling Rema a one-hit wonder, the lingering tension between MI and Modenine, BNXN parting ways with his management, and whether Odumodu really out-rapped Modenine on If You Like Gym. We also get into Ayra Starr’s possible new direction, Mavo gearing up for another run, Tems and Burna Boy continuing to dominate the charts, and why some artists might need a hit sooner rather than later. Billboard calling Rema a one-hit wonder is wild MI vs Modenine might never happen, but the tension feels real Modenine still claims he’s the best lyricist in Nigerian rap history MI has been catching a lot of stray shots lately, does he need to respond? Did Odumodu really out-rap Modenine on If You Like Gym? BNXN leaving his management could signal a major shift Mavo is sliding back to his pre-Escaladizzy sound for another run Ayra Starr might be moving into a new sonic direction Tems and Burna Boy still lead Nigerian artists on the Hot 100 Qing Madi keeps dropping quality but still needs that big Nigerian hit Odumodu’s melodies are starting to feel predictable Does Ayo Maff need a hit right now to stay relevant? DJ Tunez might be the biggest Nigerian DJ at the moment Taves still hasn’t landed a proper hit SIRAHEEM is yet to drop anything truly solid
