The days are slowly counting down to what must be the most anticipated album of 2017: Wizkid’s Sounds From The Other Side a.k.a. SFTOS. With less than seven days to go, Wizkid is keeping himself active on Twitter and accessible to the clamouring fans.

Earlier last week, he released the tracklist to SFTOS, ten days after he showed us the album art. Containing twelve tracks (pre-released songs included), SFTOS is bursting with major collaborations from across the Atlantic. Drake, Ty Dollar Sign and Chris Brown are just a tip of the collaboration iceberg.

In the meantime, Wizkid’s got plans for after SFTOS hits the stores. In a move to excite his fans and do a bit of charity work, he plans to tour four states in Nigeria, sell out their stadiums and give all his profits from his performances to the states. In addition to this, he will also be performing in London soon and give back to the victims of the Grenfell disaster. It’s a brilliant piece of planning and philanthropy rolled into one.
