His voice sounds like wizkid. abi is it just me? I’ve listened to this track like 10 times over today. Wizkid or Skales. HOTNESS

i love this song more wth every listen. skales doesnt sound anythin like wizkid. wizkid is more musical, u can’t miss him on a song. skales is just as good but dude’s a rapper, yea he did the chorus but ahn ahn, he sounds like wizkid…lol…maybe it’s cuz they are both young and tins…

Wizkid,Skales and Olamide sounds alike. Whats the problem wif dez producers?
Wizkid is by far the best of them (would by my menthor if am to start rapping/singing).
