Finally, Wizkid Releases Album By Aanu Oluyide by tonyluyi1985: 12:40pm On Oct 30, 2020
After a wait that seemed like forever, Nigerian Popular Afropop artiste Wizkid has released the much anticipated Made in Lagos (MIL) Album yesterday October 29, 2020. The album is Wizkid's fourth album upon his exit from Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), Banky W's after the expiration of his five-year contract with the label. He has since then established his record label which he called "Star Boy Entertainment".
Made in Lagos is a 14 tracks album with 9 features from 9 - Burna Boy, Skepta, Damien Marley, Tay Iwar, Projexx, Tems, Ella Mai, H.E.R and Terri.
Here's the Track List :
Reckless
Ginger ft Burnaboy
Longtime ft Skepta
Mighty Wine
Blessed ft Damian Marley
Smile ft H.E.R
No Stress
True Love ft Tay Iwar, Projexx
Piece of Me ft Ella MaI
Sweet One
Essence Ft Tems
Roma ft Terri
Gyrate
Grace
Kel P, Blaq Jerzee, London, Sarz, Mut4y, Juls, Dro, all jointly produced this album. The album is a mix of Afrobeats, Afro Swing, Afro-Fusion and Bashment. Wizkid has since his exit from EME released three albums. Ayo in 2014, Sounds From The Other Side in 2017 and Made in Lagos 2020. In other words, Made in Lagos is Wizkid's fourth body of solo work. In 2017, he signed a multi-album deal with RCA cum Sony Records, and he is the lead artiste of StarBoy Entertainment. Terri and Efya are both artistes under the label, but Terri is more pronounced as being under the label.

Wizkid has won both local and international awards including 3 BET awards, 1 ASCAP, 1 Tammy Nominations, 8 Headies Awards, 1 Guinness Books Of Records, 4 AAMA awards, 3 Mobo, 2 GMA, 6 NEA, 2 MTV Europe Awards, 4 MTV Africa awards, etc, etc. More like he has won more than 70 awards either for himself, or his songs.
MIL release date was postponed by Wizkid and His Management due to the end SARS protests which Wizkid himself was a big part of. He participated in both online and offline protests, using his voice, influence, to move the movements and make sure it gets to the right places. During the end SARS protests, Wizkid was seen with a megaphone talking to protesters in London about police brutality and their rights as Nigerian. The betterment of Nigeria is of utmost importance to him, and he is a patriotic one.
The album has generated different reactions as expected. While some think it is below par the Old Wizkid, some feel the album is good. Some people feel like Wizkid made the album for international consumption as it doesn't have Nigerian elements.
Here are some reactions from Twitter
