As we look back on Wizkid’s stay at at E.M.E Records in a union of 5 years which produced 2 albums, Super Star released in 2011 and Ayo which was released in September 2014, we examine 10 of Wizkid smash hit songs that didn’t make any of his released albums and what might become of them since these songs were released under the E.M.E imprint and now that he moving on to drop his first album under his own ‘Starboy records’. In no particular order, the songs are:...
The Matter: Produced by UK based Maleek Berry, ‘The Matter’ is one of Wizkid’s great tunes. The song was released in January 2013, the viral video which has over 4 million youtube views also dropped in February 2013 and without doubt, the song surely rocked clubs.
Juru: Produced by Legendary Beatz and released on Friday July 12, 2013, this is a great, smooth song that sadly just faded away
Love Music (Outro): This August 6, 2013 released tune was also produced by Maleek berry and it was one of the early songs used to hype the ‘Ayo’ album but somehow the song the melodious tune didn’t make the album.
Drop ft. Wale: Wizkid almost broke the internet when he hit us with a top-notch Naija-Yankee collaboration featuring American rapper Wale. The song dropped on July 29, 2013. It did make quite an impact, but didn’t get to make it to the album proper.
Azonto: Wizkid joined the long list of musicians worldwide who cashed in on the Azonto buzz when on January 28, 2012 he dropped the smash hit tune ‘Azonto’. A year later on March 1, 2013 he dropped the video for the song which was directed by Mr Moe Musa. With over 3 million views on youtube, the song was surely a hit tune.
Zombie Freestyle: Wizkid dropped ‘Zoombie’ on May 28, 2012 and it was adjudged one of the best freestyle songs of that year. It was effortless rendition that was smoothly delivered.
Sweet Potato: Produced by Victorius Icon, ‘Sweet Potato’ was released on April 7, 2013 and it was scheduled to be part of the songs on Wizkid’s mixtape but the mixtape never dropped and it didn’t make the album either.
Lagos To Soweto: This was another song planned to be on the never released mixtape, but for some reason, the song produced by Maleek Berry and released on February 16, 2013 didn’t make any of the projects and has just been left hanging
Sisi Nene: Released on March 31, 2012, this song had several covers from upcoming artistes and it was a relatively huge song on the street as well.
Beat of Life (Samba): This cut remains one of Wizkid’s best efforts so far. The song was the official Christmas tune for 2012 as it dropped on December 4, 2012 and it still inspires dance anywhere it’s played. Sadly the song didn’t make Wizkid’s album and Wizkid is in a strained relationship with the producer of the song ‘Sarz’....
