Words of Ehimenim Agweh

After his fans secured a release date for his SFTOS mixtape, it seems like Wizkid’s camp cannot keep a lid on things and it’s starting to show.

Earlier today, a remix of Mr Eazi’s “Skintight” made the rounds online. The Wizkid refix which features American pop star, Justine Skye is only the latest in a long string of leaks starting with “Jaiye Jaiye” remix. A lot of the singles which have been trickling down from what should be a watertight production look like they should be on Sounds from the Other Side. In light of the recent leak, Wizkid’s social media accounts are surprisingly quiet with no official word on the purpose or background of this situation. However, co-collaborator, Justine Skye revealed via her twitter that the recording was done a long time ago, even though she gave no further information on how it may have leaked.

However, the remix is a great jam. Although it retains the original instrumentation and hook on “Skintight”, Wizkid and Justine Skye were able to put their own creative spin on it. Drawing his roots in Mr Eazi’s work, Wizkid’s version diverges and weaves a different story amidst Justine Skye’s harmonising and shout outs to Nigeria.

This is a developing story. You can listen to the Wizkid and Justine Skye “Skintight” refix here before it disappears.
