    It’s quite glaring on the turnout and the recent huge responsive reception Wizkid‘s made in Lagos is gaining, especially from the foreign audience, the result of Made In Lagos is what’s playing out on the festivals billing up and down.

    Almost, five years ago since Drake’s ‘One Dance‘ happened, arguably one of the biggest songs in the world, introducing him internationally and broadening the audience.

    Wizkid had always been a risk-taker, introducing sounds at his pace, and relatively considered as the blueprints to a majority of the newbies in the Nigerian music industry.

    However, talking about his craft in showmanship, Wizkid’s type of stage presence is like Michael Jackson’s incarnation, the audience went wild at the sound of his music, especially because of his breakout studio album Made In Lagos, the one they always call for headlines, the crowd puller, Wizkid is that superstar.

    Made In Lagos is arguably the biggest African album of all time, aside from that the Grammy wasn’t favourable but it also breaks every great record for an African artiste.
