Mp3bullet.ng unveils a list of 10 times Wizkid has given us hits through his international collaborations.

Drake ft. Wizkid – One Dance

The Canadian rapper in 2016 teamed up with Wizkid for this record-breaking song. It is one of the tracks off his fourth studio albums, “Views.”

This combo came after Drizzy appeared on Wizkid’s Ojuelegba remix in 2014.

Beyonce ft. Blu Ivy, Wizkid, SaiNt JHN – Brown Skin Girl

Wizzy and Beyonce have also produced an ever-green single which is arguably Wizkid’s best collabo ever.

It came off Beyonce’s 2019 soundtrack album The Lion King. The music video won Wizkid his first-ever Grammy and a couple of other credible awards.

Wizkid ft. Drake – Come Closer

On this one, Wizzy lends Drake’s vocals a year after he appeared on his One Dance tune.

As a matter of fact, this is the song that gave Wizkid his first 100million streams on YouTube.

Wizkid ft. Chris Brown – African Bad Gyal

Also, we have Wizzy and Chris Brown who came through with this track as their second collaboration in 2017.

Exclusively, the title alone speaks of the audacity it gnashed through our headphones.

Skepta ft. Wizkid – Energy (Wizkid international collaborations)

The British-Nigerian rapper and Wizkid launched this beautiful combo in 2018. Still one of my favorite between the duo.

Also, this collabo happened after Skepta appeared on Ojuelegba remix in 2014.

Wizkid ft. Tems, Justin Bieber – Essence Remix

Their collaboration was unexpected and a surprise but a welcome development. Justin Bieber was featured on the remix of Wizkid’s 2020 groundbreaking summer bp, “Essence” which many music lovers have praised.

Wizkid ft. Wale – Drop (Wizkid International collaborations)

Here, we have this beautiful combo that would serve as their first major hit tune.

Rocking this song in clubs and parties was the deal for that year. Although they didn’t shoot a music video for it and we still don’t know why.

Shabba ft. Chris Brown, Trey Songz, French Montana

For the first time in 2016, Wizzy premiered a track with Chris Brown, French Montana, and Trey Songz.

Shabba did wonders to our clubs and stereos.

Smile ft. H.E.R (Wizkid International collaborations)

This is one of the hottest grooves off Starboy’s Made In Lagos album. Respectively, a good number of Wizkid’s fans appreciate this song for the kind of vibe he put in it.

Basically, it appreciates life and oneself, not forgetting one’s family!

Akon ft. Wizkid – Escape

Finally, there is Akon and Wizzy on a sound. The legendary Akon released this magic in 2020 and is still one of the hottest international collaborations Wizkid has done.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on 10 Times wizkid has given us hits through his international collaborations.

Activated unto the public eye on the night of the 23rd of September, his self-titled EP Magixx was promptly launched by midnight and shows his versatile flows show his prowess for mixing elements.

Born Alexander Adelabu, with Magixx, we have yet gotten another Gen Z star in the offing as the singer is a 23-year-old native of Ekiti state.

Magixx is also a graduate of Mass Communications from the University of Lagos where he must have racked up a loyal fanbase as well as his degree.

In earnest, Magixx is like Rotimi, if the American artist attended the prestigious University of Lagos, and listened to Fuji and Apala. His best trait is his vocal range and his application of it.

It helps him showcase three sides on certain tracks. On ‘Like A Movie,’ he sounds like a Fuji act, an R&B act, and a Caribbean act, at different points in the song.

A favorite of some of our Mino App subscribers, Magixx had been putting music out officially for three years with his first digitally distributed single, Mirror going out in September of 2018 with other songs that see him being featured alongside other artists like Chinko Ekun and more.

For how it projects Magixx’s capabilities, ‘Pati’ is the street sing-along of Magixx EP. His adlibs come in as handy as the alluring randomness of his delivery.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulwfYcFg1YY

Moments where he delivers soundbites like, “I remember when I was so low like the currency,” or “Half a milli for the weed” or “Na person wey dey spend we dey call baller…” add to his reps.

With his sound being depicted by Mavin Records themselves to be a cocktail of sounds fusing Afro elements with a mix of alternative trap ones, we’ve been advised to think of the melodies of Magixx as a mix of Saint Jhn, Kid Cudi, Bryson Tiller, and more.

His sound also bears inflection of the newly refined street hop which has become a fast favorite.

MAVIN must take some credit for their patient investment into artists, before ‘activation.’ Artist development is a core part of artistry that many Nigerian acts visibly lack.

Largely, ‘Love Don’t Cost’ is the best song on this EP. ‘Pati’ and – those pockets on – ‘Like A Movie’ serve to impress attentive music listeners.

 

As the Nigerian populace comes around to fit Magixx’s sound into their playlist, with his social media follower count growing by the second, it once again becomes apparent that Mavin Record has unlocked the secrets to making music stars of Nigerian talents and Magixx’s melodies is one we’ll be endlessly serenaded.
