We want to
know your answers to this question.
Over the
past few years Davido and Wizkid
have been the go-to artistes when their colleagues when to remix their songs.
If the two aren’t the ones on a remix, then a rapper is usually the man or Tiwa
Savage.
With
Davido scoring yet another remix with Orezi’s latest single Shuperu and Wizkid
having a barren music moment, we take a look at the past remixes the two have
made so y’all can judge who is a better hit maker when it comes to remixing an
original song.
1)
- Ice Prince – Sarkodie, Mercy Johnson, Wizkid, Ice Prince, M.I & Khuli Chana – Aboki (Remix)
Ice Prince
listed Wizkid on the remix of the superstar remix of his single Aboki. Wizkid
laid his verse on the record and it enjoyed a decent airplay. His verse came
second on the song after Sarkodie. How did the song fair? Did Wizkid
transform the song to a hit?
- LKT ft. Davido – Alaye Remix
Davido
helped LKT turn his song Alaye into a club banger by laying a verse on the
record. A definite hit in our book. Listen to Alaye remix below to refreshen
your memory
2)
- Chidinma ft. Wizkid – Emi Ni Baller (Remix)
Wizkid came
through on Chidinma’s last hit song, Emi Ni Baller. The singer came first on
the remix giving it a new vibe. The single did fairly but the original version
is more remembered but it aided the popularity.
- Sheyman ft. Davido – Paper (Remix)
A well
done remix we must say. Davido nailed Paper remix sending the original
version to an early grave. The song came at the peak of the HKN star. Sheyman
made sure his voice is heard clearly. He also came through on the song
3)
- Dr Sid – Surulere (Remix) ft. Wizkid, Phyno, Don Jazzy
Wizkid
was the star of Surulere remix. He overshadowed everybody else on the song with
his high pitch voice and verse. if Wizkid had gotten another verses instead of
Phyno, he might have shot Surulere to another height.
- Diamond Platnumz ft. Davido – Number One (Remix)
Davido
feels like Diamond owes his career to him because since they recorded this
song, the Tanzanian star has gone from a local champ to an African superstar…
Sometimes you feel like Davido is asking for too much credit but indeed
he killed this one. Diamond knows
4)
- Orezi ft. Wizkid – You Garrit (Remix)
It is
unknown if this was an official remix but Wizkid
came through on You Garrit. The song was successful before the remix came to
life so it is hard to tell the effect the Starboy chief had on the success of
the song.
His verse
is definitely worthy
- Lil Kesh ft. Davido & Olamide – Shoki Remix
YBNL
starlet Lil Kesh scored a street hit with Davido
on Shoki Remix. Davido did his part in making Shoki a mainstream
dance routine following the success of his own dance step Skelewu.
Davido even
claimed he made Shoki blow on Twerk featuring B-Red. He may be right.
5)
- Jeremih – Don’t Tell Em ft. Wizkid, Ice Prince, AKA
Def Jam artiste Jerimih listed Wizkid on
the Afrobeat Remix of his hit single Don’t Tell Em. The song also had a verse
each from Ice Prince and AKA… Why the song didn’t achieve the level of
mainstream success it should have achieved is unknown.
- Kiss Daniel – Woju (Remix) ft. Davido, Tiwa Savage
Kiss
Daniel remixed his break out single (A move many artistes don’t make) Woju and
he featured go-to man, Davido.
How did Davido fare
on Woju Remix?
