Made in Lagos
Wizkid · 2020
Made in Lagos is Wizkid’s fourth studio album, released 30 October 2020 after postponement from 15 October due to the End SARS protests. It fuses Afrobeats and R&B with mid-tempo production, rich local African percussions as its core, casually Auto-Tuned melodies, and meticulously complex beats. Themes include love, focus, goodwill, gratitude, and grace. It achieved commercial success and critical acclaim, reaching number-one on the Billboard World Albums chart. Its single 'Essence' featuring Tems became the first Nigerian song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
