'Ojuelegba' has opened more international doors for
Nigerian superstar Wizkid than any of us (including
himself) could have expected this year as he
explained to fans at a recent concert in Tanzania.
Produced by Legendury Beats who are signed to his
StarBoy label, the Afrobeats ballad saw Drake and
Skepta lend their vocals on a remix which propelled
Wizzy to the International music arena that he
currently has dancing the “Shoki” – judging by all the
success and attention from acclaimed artists it has
brought to him.
Although he had already formed a relationship with
Chris Brown, it's going from strength to strength with
there being a Sarz produced collaboration from the
two "African Bad Girl" featured on Wiz's upcoming
album. Wiz and Breezy performed the song earlier
this year at Chris Brown's South Africa concert.
From Drake, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beats to R.Kelly, A-
list musicians of the western world are taking a huge
interest in Afro beats of late and whilst other artists
like Davido are on the same path, a lot of that is in
no doubt credit to Wizkid and his Olugelaba remix
but this latest collaboration is the king of them all as
R&B legend R. Kelly revealed his artwork and track
listing for his 13th studio album ‘The Buffet’ and it
features Wizkid on "I Just Want To Thank You".
As of now, Wizkid is preparing for the release of his
third album. With Sarz and Legundary beats set to
return to create more historical tracks with the
Afrobeats giant as well as all the new interest from
the West, it will be very interesting and exciting for
fans to see what this StarBoy brings to the table in
2016.
