Wizboyy enjoyed a memorable run in Nigerian music in 2010

On this week’s Afrobeats Throwback, we will be revisiting the memorable mainstream run of Wizboyy, who is one of the ultimate street will-never-forget artists whose music impacted the scene in 2010.

Borrowing from his Igbo roots, Wizboyy was armed with melodies whose roots spread to the Highlife music of Eastern Nigeria and Ghana. Little wonder, his smash hit single ‘Owu Sa Gi’ carries a similar cadence as 2003 the timeless hit ‘Ahomka Wonu’ by Ghanaian Afrobeats group VIP.
