Wizkid’s Ojuelegba Ranked 12th Biggest Song Of 2015 By Us Magazine, The Fader

 

Wizkid may have silenced some critics after his hit song

Ojuelegba was ranked 12th best song in the world in the

last calendar year, by New York based magazine, The

Fader.

The fan favourite, Ojuelegba which got a remix from

international rapper, Drake, was ranked above chart

topping singles from American superstars such as Future,

Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan among others.

Here’s what was written about Ojuelegba by Fader

“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?” .
