My expectations were much higher than this release… Soon afternbsp that, came the controversial hit song “bHolla At Your Boy/b” and I as with quite a few others began to see the makings of bWizkid /b- the superstar. His first single “Gidi Girl” was released and I have to be honest and say I was slightly disappointed. The buzz started slowly but unlike other artists that fade away or burn out before they’ve even begun, he kept people wanting for more and more of him – the clamour stemming from very stellar features on tracks with everyone from bM.I/b, bJesse Jagz/b, Olamide, Kel, bIce Prince/b and so many more. A young Fela as the “superstar” says on his twitter profile perhaps or maybe a young 2face Idibia? I have to honestly say that I am yet to find a suitable comparison, which is testament to the fact that Wizkid – real name, Ayo Balogun – is in a league of his own. Such an apt title for our very own “Justin Bieber/Chris Brown” and yes maybe I’m stretching the comparison just a tard bit but you can’t deny the easy comparison that they are all very young cats who have taken their respective music scenes by storm in recent times. Poster boy of the EME family – the stable that birthed Nigerian Ramp B crooner Banky W and also houses emerging Nigerian emcee Skales – finally releases his long-awaited and highly anticipated debut album titled Superstar. If you’re Nigerian and/or into African Music and except you are living under a rock somewhere far away in Yemen or something then I can bet with all that I have (which is not much by the way) that the name Wizkid is not unfamilar to you.
