With no
grandiose announcement to his official signing to RCA Records, and the apparent
delay to get stuff out from him lingered until Daddy Yo came in last December,
not many believed that Caro singer, Wizkid is a Sony artiste.
Wizzy’s opted
to keep mute about his mega deal with the American major entertainment label,
whilst choosing to work publicly and drop no record. But with the release of
‘Daddy Yo’, which was produced by Dre Skull, there has been some activity
going on in his career.
While fans and
the world took time to acquaint themselves with the pop singer’s reggaeton
influence on the song, they were confronted with a new reality: Hush up the
silence, collaboration between Wizkid and Drake.
The new single, had its unfinished version leaked on the internet. Sony Music in a swift reaction scrubbed the internet of every available file, while also hastening the release of the single.
The song was
recently sent to radio stations in the US and UK, and an official date for the
release has been planned. The roll-out of the single is really on, and the
video has already been planned. There is a call for cast models, who would want
to take part in the video for the single. Similar thing is happening for his
recently released single with Jamaican top act, Vybz Kartel.
In 2016, Wizkid
travelled the length of the globe, chasing collaborations and getting hyped
across social media by stars. He did get himself some success with his part on
Drake’s One Dance, and had a hit with Tinie Tempah to subsist on.
Wizzy is
opening the year 2017 with more activity than he had at this time last year.
This, RCA executives, Peter Edge and Tom Corson has confirmed. Music
Business Worldwide in recent interview inferred with informed sources that the
record label has Wizkid as one of its priorities. Other artistes include Miley
Cyrus, Pink and Bryson Tiller.
“New RCA
priorities in 2017 include 18-year-old Texan Khalid; All My Friends
singer Tinashe, Nigerian One Dance collaborator Wizkid, hip-hop
artiste Goldlink and band Muna – while we can also expect
new records from Bryson Tiller, Pink and perhaps from Miley
Cyrus, who’s started work on her RCA follow-up to Bangerz.”
Wizkid at the
beginning of the year promised four mixtapes, and further revealed that one of
those projects would be collaboration with Wande Coal. There have been calls
from music enthusiasts for the singer to drop more hits to justify his current
high-flying position. With Sony Music renewed commitment to the Starboy Records
boss career, fans are certain to get more than they expect.
