NwsBoy:

Wizzy best in naija..

Just like messi,Dem no dey talk too much.

Like for wizkid and share for wizkid..

Oshogbo or Ogbomoso weeds.... Which do you smoke?

Rekhina:
my brother his music is nosey though not type we listen to in dubai

Yea, he sings with his nasal voice. It's easy to be a Rema, just pinch your nostrils together with your fingers and sing.

Dubai music? Arabs and Asians especially Indians are good at producing burial tracks. The kind of music that can make you fall asleep while walking.

Mcuzy:
I insist u are Deaf

He is not... You smoked weeds that's why you love trash songs

Anyone saying this E.p is trash hasn't listened to it Ndi ala..

OyiboOyibo:


Oshogbo or Ogbomoso weeds.... Which do you smoke?

Topmaike007:
Baby cover me dey burst brain

I tell you

sassiemyk:
Wiz might be popular but his musical prowess is questionable. Sky B too was popular back in the days. Artists like Tekno, Davido, Burna Boy that churns out good musics should be talked about.

Tell me one Tekno good music

Jamaican's can sing eh.. Damn!! .."jam" is a jam!

NwsBoy:

I Neva reach your level na
I still dey struggle with Ajegule weed

Try Ondo own and your eyes go clear

WalkerMichael:

I miss OLD WIZKID....
This is the REAL WIZZY

Confirm bro

josielewa:
This guys are influencers.. Bro go to twitter and see hyping.....

Wizkid didnt use influencers, stop lying.

Synord:
6th of December 2019, Ayodeji Balogun aka Wizkidayo , aka Starboy, aka Machala , aka Sound man after recording a smash hit with Beyonce earlier in the year decided to pull a Beyonce on music listeners across the world by dropping his seven track Extended play entitled entitled " Sound man " .

Machala as he is fondly called decided to drop a surprise EP to wet the appetite of Wizkid FC and music listeners in anticipation of his highly awaited " Made in Lagos" album . After the release of Joro and ghetto love which were received with mixed reactions, Ayo decides to test the waters by dropping this project under the Starboy imprint and as we analyse this body of work, we will see whether indeed Baba bolu proved his Calibre and repute as Africa's biggest contemporary music export .


Producers - Blaqjerzee, London, KelP
Featured Artistes - Chronixx, Djtunez, Blaqjerzee, KelP, London
Label - Starboy

1) Jam featuring Chronixx

On Jam featuring Jamaican artiste, Chronixx, Wizkid gives us an opening reminiscent of his stellar efforts on Sounds from the other side .. Wizkid sings about Jamming the love of his life and begging her to come into his life .The highlight of the track is Chronixx who brings his A game on this track and spices it up with his patois vibes . The trumpet gives this jam , an Afrobeat feel and Wizkid lyrics which is a deviation from what he has been serving us for a while makes listeners hopeful for more . A perfect intro.

2) Blow ft Blaqjerzee

Something about Blow gives a vibe of "low", a song by Larry Gaaga featuring Wizkid which is also produced by the same producer , Blaq Jerzee . Wizkid tells the ladies to blow the trumpet and Jo fun Alhaji. Everything on this track screams Low. A decent track at most .


3) Cover me ft Djtunez

Kel P vibes showed his mastery of Afro beats production on Cover Me featuring Starboy resident disc jockey, Dj Tunez . Wizkid is having fun with the beat , reminiscient of his efforts on the Phantom produced " Master Groove " and Sarz produced " Ghetto youth ", Wizkid focuses more on the vibe and flow rather than lyrical artistry.
. This is Afro beats and Wizkid successfully delivered on this particular track ..One for the shrine .


4) Mine ft KelP

Perphaps the best track on the EP , the song offers the same vibe Wizkid delivered on the dokta frabz produced " Joy " . Wizkid showed his lyrical capacity , vocals and lovely flow on this one .. Laid back with a meaningful message and excellent production from KelP , Mine comes off as an instant classic and hit song .. Wizkid will do well to shoot a video of this song if he doesn't decide to go STFOS with the videos .

5) Electric ft London
London , Producer of Rema's Bad commando shows he is fast becoming a force to reckon with in terms of music production. The tracks so far shows Wizkid attempting to bring us back to those STFOS vibes .

" Say she bust everyday , she day make man craze "..

This sexual vibe which Baba bolu has termed electric vibe is one for the couples and clubs .. A serious whining song for the ladies and a serious stimulant for the production of babies .
A potential hit in the Carribean market too alongside Jam featuring Chronixx.

6) Ease your mind ft KelP

My Personal Favourite ..Kel P once again proves himself a magician . Wizkid goes motivational on this one urging his listeners to take life easy and ease their mind like Mr Eazi eases his mind whenever he is with temi otedola. As usual , the production from KelP is top notch and his input is once again felt on this Afro beats reggae themed project . Wizkid also shows he is fast becoming comfortable with the Afro beats genre , a serious deviation from the pop , Afro pop and rnb vibes which dominated his early days .. a 9/10 for me

7) Thankful ft Blaqjerzee

Okay .. This is the Lamba .. This sounds like the Manya vibe Wizkid gave us with Mutay . A December beer parlour and pepper soup joints Gbedu. Blaqjerzee delivered and Wizkid delivered too.. with a touch of prayer and street slangs , the song is destined to control the streets in a few weeks . The production feels good.

Final Verdict

Wizkid is having fun and catching cruise .. Perphaps following criticisms that trailed his last two offerings , Joro and Ghetto love , Wizkid decides to take us to his STFOS days and show us he is still capable of delivering lyrics and beautifully crafted vibes. The project feels like STFOS part 2 .

Wizkid is experimenting and showing us his versatility as he switches between reggae, Afrobeat , Rnb and some Familiar Carribean vibes .Wizkid is playing safe and little surprise he drops the project under the Starboy imprint.
One thing we can't take away is that Wizkid is good and delivers when he wants to .He is also listening to the reviews and critics ..

He wants to know what to give us in his Made in Lagos album hence the release of this project and also to prove a point to critics who are hell bent on questioning his lyrical capacity and dominance in the Afrobeats genre .This project shows that we might never actually Get our pop influenced Wizkid again as he is heavily influneced by afrobeats on the project. Some of the beats sound too similar but Wizkid manages to give a different flavour to each track .

The production ( beats , mixing and mastering ) is top notch but I think the inclusion of Sarz who have been amazing .Wizkid might also need to consider giving us more of the pop tracks we are familiar with as he seemed to have neglected that completely for Afrobeats .

Considering the recent projects and the excellent pen game therein from acts like Peruzzi , Davido, BurnaBoy and fireboydml, Wizkid might need to improve on his pen game if he is hoping to give us something extraordinary and up to the " New " standard on his album even if that will involve getting some writers .

Overall , SoundMan is for the listeners to enjoy while sipping palmwine , on the beach or laid back somewhere chilling with family and loved ones .Nothing serious , just vibes and cruise as we await Made in Lagos .

Rating - 8/10

You guys are sleeping on "jam" oo.. Na the best track for me sha..
Chronixx killed it

NwsBoy:
Fun fact..

Davido cannot walk on the mainland streets alone..(ehim be ajebo)15 years old street boy will ride him

But wizkid--- on his own is a street(original ghetto boy)...

Wizzy best in naija..

Dem no dey talk too much.

Like for wizkid and share for wizkid..

Why do u derive joy in suffering ? What’s this now ? I grew up on the streets but I swear my children won’t ever have that feeling .its bullshit life Na once . Dem no dey use poverty brag

omoadeleye:




So you expected someone to be living in their past just because you love them? Bro, if you can't move on leave other people to move on.

LOL.... some people have not switched on to the new Wizzy.... his musis now has a wider audience and appeal so hes has inovated and brought
people to the table to do things together.....

dont worry you will appreciate Wizzy later

Wizzy came thru on this. The songs are on point, fat tunes and the lyrics are well delivered. I don't care what a musician's subject matter is about so long the person is musical with it. I give him a Nikee.....

Kel P vibes did a great job... But he needs to get his sax game up, every sax melody on his beat was off key.

kaziblake:
But Joro is so cool..Who hates joro music is deaf..

Who gets satisfied or judge an an artiste good on just one sweet track. Have a rethink and u will know he's no more at par with what we know him as from way back. Back in the days, u will click on play again when listening to his album cos of all the sweet tracks. Imagine skipping plenty tracks just to get to only Jojo. #spits#

OyiboOyibo:


Try Ondo own and your eyes go clear

weed is overrated

You need to start reading with understanding..

Wizkid started from the street and now he is a made man....
No one is bragging about poverty,
You can't compare someone that had nothing..but worked hard to become rich.....with someone that was born into riches.

Once a street boy but now a big man..is always wiser and have more understanding of life(as a poor man and as arich man) that burn a big man.
So..no one is bragging about poverty.

Only acknowledging the fact that he got out of the street.
If you are a true street boy you will understand that it is not easy to make it on the street..

Wiz is gifted with the voice bt how to use that voice I’m not quite sure he’s maximized it like how Tekno, Davido and Burna Boy have. Luckily he sounds good even if he signs rubbish cos he worked hard in his early days and paid his dues in sm way bt he hasn’t maximized his potential that’s for sure.

GeneralPula:
I like him for sure but I hardly listen to his song! Just don’t know why!!

Pls try to listen to th EP,
Am sure you gonna change your mind

Jaynom:
Wizkid has no content. He needs to stop saying "Baby girl" in his songs

Have you listen to the EP?
Go an listen to ease your mind on that EP, and come back to modify.
