    Wizkid burst onto the scene at the age of 17 with a verse on M.I’s song “Fast Money, Fast Cars,” and went on to release a seminal debut album that ushered in a new era for Nigerian music.

    “Superstar” album revolutionized the Nigerian music industry, it ushered in a generation of young artistes to an industry dominated by grown men.
