After his 2012 hit, “Ara” and his part on Ice Prince‘s “Oleku,” he was a bonafide star and no one could hold a candle. After his first album, The Son Of A Kapenta, and his fallout with CC, he left the label and switched from pop to alternative.
He released Merchants, Dealers and Slaves, his first independent album and the rest is history. Today, he’s one of the few doing good music in Nigeria.
Here are ten of his songs that are ultimate bops, and important to his wide discog.
In 2012 and around that time, it was impossible not to know this song, “Ara.” It was a fresh new sound that gave birth to many other successful songs of that Era.
It’s Brymo‘s first single, and it makes sense that it’s number one on this list.
This is Brymo‘s much-loved follow up single. “Good Morning” is about his love interest, and it was everywhere when it dropped, almost ten years ago.
It got heavy rotation on TVs and Radios, and is one of Brymo‘s most successful singles to date.
Also a single from his debut album, “Omoge Campus” has the same kind of sound Ara and Good Morning had, and continues the Afro-EDM journey he was on, on the album.
From his second album, “Down” is the song that stood out.
It is his most viewed on YouTube, and it’s one of his very first philosophical songs. The meanings are encrypted, and very deep. If you know, you know.
It’s not everyday someone does a song paying homage to, not only the city of Abeokuta, but also to Wole Soyinka and Obasanjo.
Brymo did it all in this same song, “Olumo” off his Oso studio album, released in 2018.
Brymo is known for two things, his deep folk songs and his classic love songs.
“Fe Mi” is one of those classic love numbers, and it has a pure highlife tune that will get you anytime.
“Alajo Somolu” is a classic, too. Brymo was really in his bag when he did this.
The song which has a lot of deep messages embedded in it, is off his fourth studio album, “Klitoris.”
“1 Pound” off Tabula Rasa is a top-notch storytelling song that is one of Brymo‘s most popular.
It really is better than many of the songs that were around when it was released. This is a very important part of his discog, for sure.
Off his last studio album, “Yellow” that was released last year during the lockdown, this song quickly became a hit across the country.
With an afro-highlife beat, and Brymo just talking about flexing, “Rara Rira” was really the perfect hit for the moment. It also broke Brymo‘s streaming records.
“Olanrewaju” is one of those Yoruba motivational songs that almost sound like they’re gospel.
Nobody could have done it better than Brymo honestly.
