SingerNamedrop is when an artist or a band interweaves their name into the lyrics of one of their songs. Dropping one's name is a way to make listeners remember who sang the song. This can take a form of either simply saying the name (regardless of context), indicating that the song is about him or her, or introducing him or herself, usually in the hook.
Compare CreatorCameo and TitleDrop. Related to "Special subcategory of bands named after ''one of their own'' songs" in GoodNameForARockBand. Virtually present in a BoastfulRap. Sometimes evokes ThirdPersonPerson.
