Na that Ghost Mode blow Phyno and Olamide had a very big role to play.
Before then, Phyno already had "Anamchikwanu" with Illbliss but it wasn't really certain he was gonna become a superstar.

Phyno has been in the game for so long. He produced a couple of tracks for Mr Raw in Raw's 2004 or 2005 "Right or Wrong" Album but Baddoo brought him to prominence.

Lil kesh and Adekunle Gold ?

Fireboy?

I don't think you're right. Prior 'Ghost Mode' which was released around 2014, Olamide's debut album "Rapsodi" was already banging and it was released in 2011, with Omotoshan featuring Starboy being my best track.

To you guys, popular means being being recognized in the Southwest. Phyno was already a big deal in the Southeast before he began doing collabos with Olamide. You can say working with Olamide brought him bigger recognition in the soutwest, but he was already a star before then.

Remove Phyno from the list. I expected to see Fireboy, Lyta, Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold

Yes Phyno is part of the list from ‘Dope music’
Lilkesh and AG too
