| Wizkid’s Album Art Cover |
My best track on that album is Wad Up featuring D'Prince of Mo Hits(It was MoHits then). That track is emotional. Wizkid talks about times when people degrade him when he was nothing, how girls would ignore him just because he had only one jeans and one shirt, how Christian would move away from him just because his clothes were dirty. But when fame and success came, everyone wanted to associate him. Everyone wanted to be friends with him. Similar to a verse in the Bible, " the rejected stone has become the cornerstone". All the girls who rejected him in the past were always the first to greet him. Wad up. That is the ish with life, success is like sugar, it attracts ants. Success has many friends. You make it one time, people would want to associate. Nobody likes a poor man. Everyone relates with a rich man just because they feel they can gain something from him.

Next favorite track was No Lele. Big ups to Sam Klef, the beat really added more juice to the track. Pure Afro-beat. This was like a remembrance track for Wizkid. He recounts how people asked him, how you make am. This song is a must listen to upcoming artistes. The advice wizkid gave in that song is classic. He says "When they tell you say you no go fit, my brother make you tell them say no lele". Lesson derived from this is to fix your eyes on the gold. Pay no attention to the hypocrites. Never let anyone poison your mind that you can't make it. Keep pushing the hustle. There are a lot of other motivational songs in that album. Oluwa Ni. Say My Name. Those songs are lit too. If you are an incoming artiste, this album is one of your starter pack. A must listen. Just wished Wizkid stayed true to the genre of music exhibited in that album. Wish he was still with Sam Klef. But man had to change to club music, gbedu wey dey burst speaker. If you listened to Superstar then, which was your best song?
