As Morayo approaches, here’s every Wizkid project Ranked

Wizkid, AKA StarBoy General, is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated sixth studio album “Morayo.” With multiple tracks being teased all over the internet after his ladies only party in London some days ago, including the standout single “Piece of My Heart” featuring Brent Faiyaz, as we await what Wiz has to offer this time let’s reflect on his Awe-inspiring discography. From his debut album “Superstar” to the globally celebrated “Made in Lagos,” Wizkid has consistently defended his status as an Afrobeats legend with over a decade in the game, creating timeless music day after day, from the streets of Ojuelegba to the far ends of Australia. Here’s our definitive ranking of his albums and projects.

7. S2

S2 was a surprise drop for fans, with Wizkid releasing the album shortly after teasing a large neck tattoo that read “PRAY,” which became a trending topic on the internet for weeks. The album’s visuals were creatively directed by artist and designer Strafitti, giving it a very distinct and edgy aesthetic. It featured standout collaborations like “Ololufe” with Wande Coal, and “IDK” featuring Zlatan which both had strong moments. However, despite these highlights, S2 ended up being one of Wizkid’s least impactful works, lacking the cohesion and depth of his other projects.

6. More Love, Less Ego (2022)

More Love, Less Ego showcased a more mellow, introspective side of Wizkid, reflecting his growth as an artist. Tracks like “Bad to Me” and “2 Sugar” highlighted a smoother, more personal vibe. While emotionally rich and introspective, the project didn’t carry the same punch as his earlier hits, making it a slower burn for many fans. As a follow-up to Made in Lagos, it felt more intimate, yet didn’t achieve the same widespread impact.

5. Soundman Vol. 1 (2019)

Released under Starboy Entertainment, Soundman Vol. 1 was an experimental project where Wizkid leaned heavily into elements of reggae, jazz, and R&B. Working closely with standout producers, the 7-track project introduced exciting collaborations, including “Blow” with Blaqjerzee, “Jam” with Chronixx and “Electric” with superstar producer London, Wizkid’s range and versatility was very evident. The EP became a fan favorite due to its broader sonic palette. Despite its short length, Soundman Vol. 1 could still be easily considered a fairly good project for someone of Wizkid’s caliber.

4. Ayo (2014)

Ayo delivered some of Wizkid’s most iconic hits, such as “Ojuelegba” and “Show You the Money.” This album marked his transition from a local star to a global sensation, with much sharper production that set the stage for his international ascent.

3. Sounds from the Other Side (2017)

Sounds from the Other Side was Wizkid’s crossover into the global music scene. The album fused Afrobeats with international sounds, delivering dancehall-infused bangers like “Daddy Yo” alongside global smash hits like “Come Closer” featuring Drake. SFTOS played a pivotal role in pushing Afrobeats into the global spotlight, expanding the reach of both Wizkid and other Afrobeats artists across borders.

2. Superstar (2011)

If you were a Nigerian kid born in the mid-90s and early 2000s, Superstar was an album you could never forget—it essentially defined your teenage years. Wizkid’s debut album became a cornerstone in Afrobeats history, embodying its very name right from the start. Featuring hits like “Holla at Your Boy” and “Tease Me / Bad Guys,” the album catapulted Wizkid into stardom. Its youthful energy set the tone for his career and remains one of the most important albums in Nigerian music history.

1. Made in Lagos (2020)

Made in Lagos wasn’t just an album; it became a global phenomenon that set the stage for Afrobeats’ recognition and respect on a worldwide scale, opening doors to important spaces and conversations. Standout tracks like “Essence,” featuring the sensational Tems, captured the hearts of millions and introduced a whole new audience to Nigerian talent—a platform many newer artists benefit from today. Its critical and commercial success cemented Made in Lagos as Wizkid’s best work to date.
