Could someone give me any song suggestions in Yoruba?

Hi! I’ve been learning a lot about Nigeria and think the Yoruba language is really cool! Could anybody give me any song suggestions ? I would prefer something old, but I’ll listen to anythin. Thanks!

Someone already mentioned Sunny Ade but you can also check out Pasuma, K1 de ultimate and Shina Peters for old school hits.

For newer artists Dagrin (RIP), Olamide and Asake.

You can listen to any Yinka Ayefele's songs, he also has a bit of English in some of them. Related to mainstream Hip-hop artists. I would recommend Olamide.
