Starboy, Wizkid – Soco

Nigeria’s biggest star brings his friends along for Afrobeats tour-de-force

Wizkid’s latest hit is credited to “Starboy”, which is his label’s name. Here it seems to designate a posse of Afrobeats singers that he leads on this creamy, slithery jam. As they trade auto-tuned verses, the music rolls on like a wave of warm, thick chocolate and there is no use trying to swim against the tide… just float with it.
