Wizkid”made in Lagos album ” is perfectly an African oriented album with a unique singles that deserves Grammy awards. It’s categorically and inarguably cleared that he is the number one in Africa who has taken African music on the global stage with fashion and vibes. Viva,viva,viva Starboy Wizkid!!!
