Yeah great talented guys and wizkid is special and a legend .... Keep Nigeria and Africa great. Your president said you are lazy....

Please when and how did he feature Micheal Jackson?

We keep shinning people

Drake is just so smart and humble, he knows he need to collab a bit with artists from this side to maximize funds from this side..

This is also good for the Nigerian Music Industry, Drake riding on the afrobeat wave will force other international artists to get involved, automatically forcing them to collaborate with more Nigerians to bring out the real Afro sound and also more concerts, tour and gigs by international acts will be staged here

What's Tekno? Chinko phone?

Drake's new album is bae

Like for Scorpion. Share for K.O.D

Wizkid and Tekno full of inspiration

Cool...
So far so good for Wizkid and Tekno. It shows you can achieve or be wherever you want to be if you work hard at it. Their gifts are paving way for them in the music scheme of things.

The 'B" side of the Scorpion album is a smash. Can't skip even a single track. The "A" is cool too.

And tekno jogodo was inspired by mad melon and mountain black, who in turn was inspired by marijuana. Inspiration from Ajegunle to Lagos to New York. Still dem go say marijuana no get useful purpose
