Wow it seems you stole my Playlist, this is my identical list just that Charlie Puth ,Justin Bieber,David Guetta and Calvin Harris are missing.

EntPublisher001:
In the light of Wizkid’s upcoming 4th studio album, “More Love, Less Ego” which was rumoured to be released later this year, We at TrendyBeatz bring to you a list of Wizkid’s most underrated songs. In clear terms — these songs were curated on the basis that, even though some of these tracks were loved by many, they deserved more recognition and international exposure than they got. Ride with us.


Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid and now morphed into a bigger reformation as Big Wiz, dominated the copious cultural relevance and acclaim for his sweet, calm melodies at a time when the music industry was less hectic with different afrobeat musicians. After the social media revolution, his relevance began to be noticed on a more global scale, from being just an EME’s gem to becoming one of the biggest wonders of African music.

Rising from Surulere, Wizkid didn’t just erupt as a random musician; Banky W gave the young starboy a platform at a time when he was about building one of the most formidable faculties in the music business in Nigeria alongside artists like Niyola, Shaydee, and Skales. It’s a general knowledge that Wizkid has one of the most impressive catalogues from any Nigerian afrobeats musician, with three solid album projects and over sixty singles.

1. Thank You

“Thank you” was arguably one of the best things to happen to African music in 2012. At the time it was released, the tune didn’t get the number of flowers it deserved, but it will forever remain a party tune— a classic and evergreen song.

There’s something special about the “Thank You” song. Aside from that, Wizkid dedicated the song as an appreciative track to his fans for their unflinching support. He also appreciated God for his journey throughout his short achievement at that time. It was an excellent record, but it didn’t get enough recognition.

2. “For Me” Featuring Wande Coal

As their first collaboration, “For me” was released on the 12th of June in 2011 and with this song, you can probably understand the extent of the duo’s artistic collaborations. This particular song is a collaboration that did not receive enough merit and, without a doubt, remains one of the best collaborations we had in the last decade.

The duo flowed on a seamless harmonic sound against a bouncy and ecstatic beat, mostly filled with Yoruba lyrics. Most DJs who knew their onions back then used this song in the club to get a rousing reaction from the party-goers. But unfortunately, it didn’t make the numbers it truly deserved.

3. Lagos Vibes

If there exists a ranking for Wizkid’s underrated music, Lagos Vibes should top the chart as the most criminally underrated song of his lifetime. The love charge song was produced by Spotless and regarded by most fans as Wizkid in his best form of singing. The song, which was baked with afrobeat laced guitar ticks is one of those love songs made to throw shoes away, vibe and dance like you don’t own your legs.

Despite the sonic undertones of this record, we need to know why this song wasn’t played by every existing DJ and Radio station in 2018. It was the perfect blend of Afropop.

4. Wizkid - Picture Perfect

We had to add this number to the list, as not only is it a hugely underrated jam that we don’t get to hear enough in the clubs. If “Picture Perfect” was meant to be a ‘test the water’ project for Wizkid to sound pop, then he must have surely learnt how to swim by now. This track is a single from Wizkid’s “Sound from the Other Side” album.

In this record, Wizkid expresses himself in this slow love song which has this Afropop background sound to it. It was one of the last landmarked songs of Wizkid’s first act. On the single, he is in ebullient mode as he pontificates about love and compatibility. We know this song deserves more numbers than it does have, and we’d give anything to get visuals for this masterpiece.

Now the question is, why is this song not a national romance anthem?

5. Wizkid — Jam ft Chronix

The chemistry between Wizkid and Chronix in “Jam” is insane. After the Soundman EP, It became crystal clear that WizKid’s sound had evolved; he no longer bothered about following trends to make hits. He just sings from his soul and expresses himself effortlessly.


Beyond the “wanna-be pop-star” apparel that Ayo Balogun sometimes wears, one could tell that he’s truly a beautiful, sweet and soft songwriter. This is evident in this track. Wizkid was serving vocals and harmonies, but it didn’t blow as expected.

6. Wizkid ft Masterkraft Odoo

This particular Jam is a typical example of a bop that was loved by many but was easily forgotten. This duo gave us this melodiously vibrant piece, but the song was not one of those that every DJ is spinning in the club; neither did it get that international appeal that would have suited the entire vibe.

One could guess maybe it’s the reason Wizkid didn’t make a visual for it; it just never got the clout that it rightly deserves.

7. Sisi Nene

If you’re looking for a perfect encapsulation of Wizkid’s star power circa 2012, “Sisi Nene” might be the most potent example there is. One of Wizkid’s earliest releases under Banky W’s “EME” record label.

At the time, glossiness was already etched into the DNA of popular Nigerian music, but Wizkid — with the help of the producer, Jay Sleek — took things up a notch where he sang to celebrate his love interests, shower her praises and ask her to twist her waist.

Unarguably, Another jam vibe that popped off on the radio but just never made it to the clubs and international stations where it deserved to live and breathe.

In a year that completely dominated Afropop, the consensus around most of the curated songs is that it’s a criminally underappreciated song, and If we could extend this list to 8, then songs like “Master Groove”, “Lowkey”, “Shout Out” and other different songs would make the list, but we all need to agree that when it comes to Afro-Pop, R&B music, Wizkid remains the king. And at this point, the term “Big Wiz” and “Star Boy” is no longer self-acclaimed because the Grammy award winner is undoubtedly a true star boy. At least, as regards his music.

TrendyBeatz has a greater duty of documenting the art, even beyond the artist and his “doings.” If you know, then you are knowledgeable.

Our expectations for “More Love, Less Ego” is at their peak and with the success of “Made In Lagos”, we are confident that BigWiz will not disappoint.

What other songs of Wizkid’s old or new do you think are underrated and deserve more recognition and acceptance? Put them down in the comments section.

U forgot to add "Master groove"...you are on point,those tracks were hits,but e didn't promote em well enough.

Deadass Queen at the gates of heaven begging them to let her inside

Get a life Dude,Trolling a queen who spent 70 years on the throne and lived to an old ripe age of 96.. The Jokes on u dude.

Marcus96:
See your playlist but you call yourself a real nigga, a hard nigga. Nigga, you a p*ssy nigga I swear

The pussy is the strongest organ humans have. No other organ can handle childbirth, you moronic imp.

Finally, why are you angry a man doesn't listen to your usual gangbangers and violence chanters? Will he be a real nigga if he listens to the rapey and murderous black American or British rappers who have no substance to their music? Or is your definition of a real nigga more meaningless trash from stupid Nigerian men? He's braver than any of you on this stupid thread for posting artistes swines like you relegate gender roles to.

Nice thread, OP.

Some Wizkid's songs were so awesome but he effed up by not making a video for them.

Songs like
*Jah bless me
*Blessed
*Eledumare (a really nice song)
*Everytime ft Future
*Samba ft Sarz

She reared slaves, protected her pedophilic sons, colonized nations and married her cousin. The joke is on you, a slave descendant defending her.

That For Me track featuring Wande Coal and on that M.I. Abaga Fast Money, Fast Cars track, WizKid was at his best, lyrics/content wise...


The rest of his discography are much into beats and less sound.

I don't listen to wizkid songs ....don't know why but his songs expression isn't that solid to me .

I will prefer to listen to adekunle gold songs than wizkid songs .

Na the grace be that

Don't mind them.

Ppl don't listen to lyrics these days and that's why they end up hyping rubbish.

This song "machala" ehh, I don't even know what it means.

There nothing so special about wizkid or others they are lucky they met social media age,imagine african queen was released during this social media age,if their was no social media nigeria musicians will end up in nigeria or highest they visit Europe and sing in one African club or bar,today where I work I see my Co worker from Poland listening to Rema or kiz Daniel imagine no be social media wetin concern Polish person with naija music

SweetVibe:
Lagos vibe is my no 1 favourite song,infact it was my callers tune for 2 years but I still don't understand why people don't much know this song

It is because the song came out mid-2018 when Shaku shaku songs by Idowest, Mr Real and Slimcase were ruling the airwaves!

Calibrator:

I think you no Better than Justin Bieber and Kanye west and the people who put the song for nomination at the Grammy

I'm bitter a racist pig died and you - a black person are confused? You would've been sold to a plantation if she had her way. You're a blot on the lineage of your ancestors. Slave.

NwaAdazzi:
Wow,All this allegations,Seems u have built ur case,Y not drag her ass to court,if u can't pls,STFU..

Allegations ke? :'D

Why are you Nigerians so loud and stupid? Did history evaporate? Elizabeth married her cousin. She led the colonialism and slavery empire. She's literally the reason Nigeria is named after "n!gger area" and you're calling them allegations. Read a book or an article on the internet, you stupid dinosaur.

benardtotti:

Go and listen to
*Jah bless me
*Blessed
*Eledumare

There is even a Nice one, released recently.

The issue is instead of shooting videos for those songs., he focussed on Joro, No stress, etc.

Ikem11:
You are 100 correct. He is a good singer but his songs doesn't make sense at all. Songs writers mess things up for me

are you an artiste ?

raphroye:
Thank you is still my favorite wizkid's song of all time

Na so bruh!
I'm not big fan of wizkid but when that guy really get some dope songs when he really mean business.
