Naija hiphop 101-How to identify a one-hit wonder

DISCLAIMER
The fact that an artist or album is mentioned in this lecture does not indicate said artist is not talented or good in his/her genre of music or that said album was not deserving of the attention it got.
DEFINITION
A one-hit wonder is an artist that attains success for a period of time due to the commercial acceptance of a single and after a period of time, the artist is hardly ever heard from.

A one-hit wonder may have one or all of the following features
1. Artist has a hit single (shayo-bigiano, ijoya-weird mc, maga don pay-kelly handsome, gongo aso-9ice,      yahoozee-olu maintain, greenland-ty bello, ndoli ndoli-hman)
2. Artist makes one,two or three remixes of hit single (shayo remix, ndoli ndoli pt 2, yahoozy remix)
3. Artist releases album almost immediately and names album after hit single:probably to enable the layman on      d streetz identify the album with local vendor (shayo-bigiano, gongo aso-9ice,ndoli ndoli-hman, greenland-ty bello, malaria-soty)
4. Finally, artist is hardly ever heard from again
Facts stated here may not be 100% accurate and are subject to further verification. but u get the point.

by the way, where the hell is morachi???.......soul e????......does anybody know?
