Olamide & Wizkid are two of the finest music talents of
their blessed generation. From the onset, Wizkid had been touted to
become the future of Nigerian music while Olamide was labeled the
crowned prince of Indigenous rap music.
These two music talents have since
treaded their different paths to fulfil ‘prophecies.’ Today, Olamide is
the biggest name in the Indigenous rap category while Wizkid is the most
recognised Nigerian artiste.
The paths of the two stars first crossed in 2011 when they made Omo To Shan and showed to the world, the synergy they share. They further collaborated on songs like Ori Mi and Confam Ni. The two music royalties linked up on a freshly released record titled ‘Kana’ and below is what we think about it.

@ibironketweets The version of ‘Kana’
which I listened to must be different. It doesn’t exactly sound like
the great piece most social commentators have dubbed it. It’s grooviness
and measured tempo are appreciable but we have had offerings with even
better features from both artistes in the past.
‘Kana’ sounds like a song made out of
boredom or perhaps the rush to make something with the rarity of having
two of the industry’s finest in the studio. Flirting, which happens to
be Wizzy’s favourite, is the subject here but the expression is cold.
For me, ‘Kana’ falls short of the
standard expected from two of the industry’s finest. It is the kind of
record two C-list artistes would put out and it would not make it to the
charts but it’s there ‘cos it’s Wizkid & Olamide. For shortage of
great materials, ‘Kana’ would make my list of the week’s top songs but
my hope of replacing it is high.
@dahnielz Known for his consistency, Olamide drops new songs on an
average of 2 months within a year. The rapper who just recently dropped
Owo Shayo has returned to our review list with
Kana featuring Starboy.
Like ‘Owo Shayo’, Kana is a song that comes with an entirely different vibe from the
shaku shaku wave.
An Olamide-Wizkid feature in the past has not exactly been a jaw
dropping one, the two are obviously not in their peak unlike they were
when ‘Omo To Shan’ dropped.
Kana is just your everyday average song; I would like to think
Olamide is still experimenting with other sounds to see which new
‘banger’ will rock our ears.
Not a bad effort, Wizkid’s presence or absence would not exactly have made any impact on this song though.
