After releasing about one half of what would be his
sophomore album piecemeal, over several months;
Wizkid decided the time was right to bless us with
the remainder of the pudding. Although I lost
appetite a long time ago, courtesy demands that
when the Star Boy calls you to a feast, you
oblige. Shall we…?
The album starts out with Jaiyejaiye feat Femi
Kuti which, in my opinion, is a good album starter;
it sets the album off to a high start, especially
when the album is titled “Joy”. Groovaay.
Show you the money is just another bland Wizkid
tune, nothing exceptionally creative about this song.
From thought to execution, this song falls flat on
its face.
In my bed to me, is an absolute songwriting
disaster. This song starts off, as one would expect,
with Wizkid wooing a girl into his bed, and with
little warning, quickly morphs into praise singing
(names that are not relevant to the initial issue of a
girl in his bed) and then back again. Whew!
Remarkable stuff.
Mummy mi is the most disappointing “mama” song
I’ve heard in a while. The songwriting on this
song is dead lazy. You can’t say you like your
mother and all you can tell us about her is that she
bore you in her womb for 9 months; I mean, you’d
expect that we knew that already, right? Surely
Wizkid can do better.
Ojuelegba: Shout out to legendury beatz, the groove
of this song is truly legendary. Wizkid, on the
other hand, did not fully rise to the occasion, as I
found the lyrics of this song to be sparse and sub
par. I will take just the beat and trash everything
else. This song could have offered more.
Kind love is straight up crappy and mediocre. I
wouldn’t accept this from a rookie let alone from the
Star boy . This is a very weak song.
Ontop your matter : You know this one already.
Nice groove. Na jam.
In love feat Seyi Shey is, for me, the best song
on this album. I love the production, choice of
collaboration and execution. This is the minimum
quality of music I expect from Wizkid on his
sophomore album. I fell In love from the very first
play. Seyi shows that she is indeed, a pro at her
craft. This is a beautiful song; and Dr Frabz still
has my high regard. Great job!
For you feat Akon : At this point in the album I’m
sick of the word “baby,” unfortunately Wizkid
appears almost incapable of making a song without
it. But thank God for Akon who took time to
school the on how to seize a track. Akon’s
contribution definitely saved this song.
Dutty whine feat Banky W , Omalicha , and
Celebrate are just barely okay songs.
Kilofe: This appears to be a terrible knockoff of
seantizzle’s kilogbe. This song has nothing fresh,
unique, or interesting about it. It’s another weak
effort on this project.
Bombay feat Phyno : I never thought highly of this
song and that feeling lingers. Although Phyno
delivers, he still loses some cool points from me
for managing to land on such a pointlessly bland
booty song; to collabo is not by force. Meanwhile,
I still can’t make up my mind which is worse; the
song, or the video. Can you?
One question feat yemi sax : I like Wizkid’s intro
on this classic highlife instrumental; but that’s
about all. This is yet another “dance” and “baby”
song, like I haven’t had enough yet. Tiring!
Show me the money (remix) feat Tyga is pretty
much the same song as the original version with
Tyga’s verse slapped onto it. This is another
irrelevant, high profile collaboration; if one could
even call it that.
Murder feat wale is a JAM!!! I would expect to
see a dapper video for this joint. Shout out to
Maleek Berry for this fantastic production. This
song gets me moving like an OG. Wizkid came
through with some purpose, but not without some of
his hackneyed phrases. Wale’s ability also came
through. This is definitely one of the better songs
off this album.
I fell in love with Joy way before the album
dropped. Wizkid was fantastic on this song. The
lyrics poured out from a strong place and it’s a
beauty. Here is the grown Wizkid putting in effort
and I can’t get enough of this song. Oboy! This
production dey sweet like sugarcane. Lovely! I feel
Joy. Oshe Frabz!
Caro feat Lax : Nah! It’s very hard not to move to
this. This is a jam, kudos to the producer of this
tune. This is a dance song but the detail in the
production is quite impressive and we appreciate
that. Sweet tune!!!
The Mob’s Take:
The Wizkid I heard on this album is a huge
downgrade from the guy on “ super star “; not much
learnt and little growth. I think Wizkid meant well
but a lot of the time he was simply out of his
depth; I heard a zeal without knowledge. For such
a highly anticipated album from one of Africa’s
most successful acts in recent years, this album fell
way short of the mark. The topics on the album
were, for the most part, too predictable and cheap.
A few of the production on the album maintained a
continuous loop throughout the song, suggesting a
lack of proper liaison between producer and artiste,
resulting in poor arrangement. The album parades
international collaborations that are, frankly, more
cosmetic than musical. This album has more
“babies” than a crèche; a few Ferraris and
Bugattis, and plenty “money spending” betraying a
lack of serious thought in the songwriting. Wizzy
surely needs more music knowledge, and extra hands
to maintain the momentum he has attained at this
point in his career. I don’t think this album is
special; and because to whom much is given, much
more is expected, this ranks among one of the
most disappointing albums released this year by a
Nigerian.
This is my take. Let’s have yours.

Wizkid is good but his song writing skill is terrible and it showed on the album. He makes hits but he doesn't make timeless or classic songs. He needs to hire song writers or take song writing lessons from banky w
