Till now, there are timeless songs that people appreciate which may not necessarily be hits at the time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is what I\u2019m working at and that is why I have been low key for a while so it\u2019s not that I\u2019ve lost out of the game. I want my songs to be appreciated even when I\u2019m not alive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The likes of Michael Jackson and Obrafour are still enjoying prominence.
