When i heard that the Starboy CEO himself was releasing a brand new track titled "Shabba" which features the King of newschool Pop sound (Chris Brown) multitalented RnB specialist (Trey Songz) and Cokeboys frontman (French Montana). I was really excited, not just because the waveboy have got 2016 in his pockets without dropping a single single but because my man MikeWillMadeIt crafted the track. What

With the inspiration of this track drawn from the Veteran Jamaican Dancehall artist called Shabba Racks and A$AP Ferg hit single "Shabba Racks". Wizkid did what he does on hooks, while trying preserve the ideologies of the Legend of Shabba, rolling like...

"Ride in the Benz like shabba/Somn like shabba
She got me blowing trees like shabba/Somn like shabba
Gwan go Bleep up the beat like shabba/Somn like shabba
Bounce to the beat like shabba/Somn like shabba"

The official version and the leaked version
(Ft. Section Boyz and Hood Baby) of Shabba sounds set to finally complete his transition and affliation to the UK, US and European market, noting that Wizkid is not an unknown brand among Carribeans and Jamaicans.
By the way, nice PR strategy, releasing a purported Chris Brown leaked version before the Official version

Lyrics:
Chris Brown, Trey Songz checks in with their smooth RnB medleys on the trap beat, especially CB, While Wizkid gave his regular ragga feels to a trap beat like he did on "Emtee x Roll up (Re - Up)" and "Cassper Nyovest x Single for the night". Nonetheless, at this pinnacle of Wizkids career, I think its only right that he employs the services of impeccable songwriters to Starboy Entertainment Worldwide because at the rate Wizkid is growing, the audience his music reaches out to (especially international audiences) begins to look beyond the crop of machineries brought together to make the track, the heavyweight producer or even the genre, they begin to look into what the lyrics structure is like, the message you're trying to pass and how dope you do that. Also, Out of respect for the fans, they deserve better music and lyrics.
Who else think that this track would have been way sicker without a Conventional FrenchMontana "gabble-gabble" verse? I mean his flow was just not into the track, sounded like some familiar a*s "Pop That" refix! French was really below the belt, But then imagine, we had a Wizkid bridge to link up Treysongz verse and the hook/chorus, like he did in Tinie Tempah x Mamacita, that would have been more flames!

Beat:
The '23' cronner, MikeWillMadeIt, Eardrummer Entertainment in-house producer went hammers on the beat as usual. Mix is the cleanest (This is what you get when you invest dexterous intellectuals on your sounds), the idea of bringing the 808 in, after the first four bars of Wizkid's chorus fits in perfectly!.
I have been following MikeWill since his breakout hit "Tupac Back" by MeekMill and Ricky Ross.
Micheal Williams does no wrongs

Conclusively, Wizkid release yet another monster hit. The world aint over the spirituality of Ojuelegba, One Dance still owning the Billboard Hot100 at #1, Drake equals a Michael Jackson record of having a Billboard #1 Hot100 and #1 Hot200 Album with Views because of One Dance, Mamacita climbing real fast to the top at 5th right behind One Dance at 4th on the iTunes Top40 UK Rap/RnB chart (Making him the first African artist to appear twice simultaneously on the chart), then Shabba coming up!

Wizkid owns the summer yo!

Way to go Wizkid!!!
