Get started!
After 6 years, the Black Diamond is back with his sophomore album!
Six years ago, Wande Coal dropped his debut album ‘Mushin 2 Mohits’ which included the hits ‘Ololufe’, ‘Bumper2Bumper’, ‘You Bad’ (featuring D’banj) and more.
And while he’s stayed in the spotlight, releasing new music via his Black Diamond Entertainment label and featuring on other artists tracks, he’s kept his fans waiting on the follow up to ‘Mushin 2 Mohits’. But that all changed yesterday when the former Mo’ hits star dropped the highly anticipated album ‘Wanted’.
After one listen, we at Zikoko can’t get enough of this album and here are 7 reasons why you won’t be able to either:
1. The first single ‘Ashimapeyin’ released in July proved to be a certified banger!
While the video had a lot of celebrity faces, it’s the addictive beat produced by Sarz that has us hooked! And the ‘Mushin to Mohits’ star shows us he can work his magic again..
2. The second single ‘Same Shit’ featuring AKA is equally impressive.
The Da Beat Freakz-produced track and AKA’s flow are a killer combination.
3. Nigerian Twitter can’t get enough of the album!
While Seyi Law blames the power outages in Nigeria and Wande Coal’s blackness for the delay in the release of the album.
7. The 23-track album includes collaborations with Maleek Berry, Jimmie, 2face Idibia, Burna Boy, Wizkid, King Spesh and more.
Hit after hit after hit, Wande Coal’s album ‘Wanted’ proves it’s possible to create quality Nigerian music that the masses will love.
You never listen to mainstream Nigerian songs for the content. If you need content, find Asa or Bez.
So get a banging beat and you’re good to go. But the fact that we don’t listen to the lyrics doesn’t mean there’s no limit. Sometimes, try. We are begging.

Is your account balance singing “Buga” or is it wailing “God abeg”? This quiz knows the truth.
Despite the scorching sun that spread over Lagos on Sunday, I made my way to Bud Fest, live at La Madisson Place, a Budweiser-sponsored party that marked the end of the 2022/2023 English Premier League (EPL) season. It was a unique experience; I watched football and partied hard. I can’t remember the last time I lost my voice due to a rave. Here’s how it went down.
Immediately the show started, the host Toby Shang introduced himself, the lovely DJ DayZee whose set didn’t fail us, and the opening act Byno. All the couples in the building were awwwning, acting all cute and holding hands during his beautiful performance. I wasn’t jealous sha, I just held onto the cold can of Budweiser that welcomed me at the entrance.
Afterwards, another artiste known as Lenny D also performed. Then Toby Shang, the self-acclaimed King of Vibes came to ginger us for the final EPL’s last matches of the season.
After watching the Man City vs Brentford match for a while, we switched to Chelsea vs Newcastle United, then finally, Arsenal’s match against Wolverhampton. Though most of the viewers already knew who topped and won the League, there was good-natured banter about Arsenal’s old chance of winning and Chelsea’s fight for pride. The matches were intense but entertaining.
Manchester City won the finals, and when the match ended, all the Man City fans in the building were called on to celebrate their feat as champions of the League; they even had a mock stage and EPL Cup. I was hating from my seat because my club didn’t even make it to the semi finals. But it didn’t last long, because a lip sync competition followed and people came on stage to perform their favourite artiste’s songs. The way most of them were chopping their mouths had me laughing at the ridiculousness.
After the lip sync battle, the main PARTY started!
Khaiid got on stage and performed his hit track, “Carry Me Go” featuring Mavin artiste Boy Spyce who was next on stage. He also performed “Carry Me Go” followed by his latest single, “Relationship”. Labelmates Magixx and Crayon followed to give us fantastic solo performances before their collective performance of their label hit song, “Won Da Mo”. I sang along at the top of my voice.
While we were still recovering from the Mavin’s performance; is when OdumoduBlvck, a fast-rising artiste, got on stage next. The charismatic artiste accepted his mum’s video-call when he was on stage and shared the spectacular moment with the audience.
Reekado Banks performed last, ending the Fest with a series of hit singles that made us scatter the dancefloor. His energetic performance reminded us he is still HIM.
The party was an epic way to end the epic football season. The experience at Bud Fest proved it’s the number one go-to for anything that intersects football, music and fun. Budweiser showed solid support for the football community. The Fest encourages the fans to come together to enjoy the great game, vibe to good music and have a fantastic time.
