In the wake of last weekend’s surprise re-release of
Wizkid’s Ojuelegba featuring Drake and Skepta, the Internet was abuzz with
praise, excitement and for most Nigerians, pride. Although this is not the
first time that a well-known Nigerian artiste has collaborated with an
international artiste: Davido and Meek Mill or Wizkid and Tyga ; but this, this
took us all, at least me by surprise.
Drake is one of today’s most commercially successful artists
with over 30 top 10 hits on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts. (And one of
Canada’s greatest exports.) Wizkid, on the other hand, has been immensely
successful both in and out of Africa. So it kind of makes sense why this is
such a huge deal.
What did BET say again about African acts making their music
more 'internationally appealing' because Nigerian pop star, Wizkid, just gave
them an epic response without even trying to. So, yesterday, July 11th, Young Money rapper, Drake debuted
his new show OVO Sound Radio, where he also debuted a pair of remixes including
Wizkid's smash song, 'Ojuelegba'.
Apparently, UK-born Nigerian MC, Skepta, who introduced the
song to Drake some few days ago, also featured on the remix, which I must tell
you is DOPE!
See the Star Boy's response:
That moment when Drake started his line with... "Its
gone be a long long time before we start"... and you just know this a
remix with a difference. Rush Now And Download Yours
