Wizkid has achieved a new
feat as popular US Magazine, Fader has ranked his song Ojuelegba remix with
Drake and Skepta as the 12th biggest song of the year 2015.
His song was among a list
of 107 put together by the magazine.This list includes world famous songs like
Hotline Bling by collaborator, Drake with the number one spot going to Justin
Bieber’s “Where are you now” They wrote “Let’s get what we all already know
out of the way: Drake hopped on this song from Nigerian artist Wizkid for a
remix, generously making the song more famous (at least in America) than it
might’ve been on its own in 2015.
But let me state this clearly and
definitively: the song never needed him. No matter the celebrity, you can’t
improve on perfection, even if the Skepta verse that accompanied Drake’s on the
remix was pretty great. No,”Ojuelegba” is best on its own, a graceful slice of
rhythm that does not need cultural translation. Like Popcaan’s “Everything
Nice,” the iconic global jam from last summer, it has a message of grace,
thankfulness, and happy perseverance that resonates in every home.
And that
beat? It’s got a shoulder-shrugging momentum so joyful, how could it not have
wound its way all over the world?”.
