Wizkid's new single is expected to drop in a few days
Grammy Award winner and superstar singer, Wizkid has recently celebrated the 10 anniversary of his glorious endeavors as a musician.
It's been ten years since the release of "Superstar" and the thought of that brings a world of memories.
The album is renowned for songs like "Holla At Your Boy", "Tease Me", and some other hit tracks.
"Holla At Your Boy" was the perfect fan introduction to Wizkid and a masterstroke by Banky W that tapped into Wizkid’s teenage brand.
The video was shot in a school setting with the stunning Sophie Momodu as the female lead while Banky W played the dad. Other artists also featured in that video.
The record was mixed by Temi Gomez, who now manages Laycon.
