Olamide and Davido are featured guests on the record ‘Fine Girl’, a typical Nigerian title which sits right in place with the numerous song designed and concocted in the studios that litter Lagos. What makes it more interesting is that they were the only featured artists on the record and so you know, it’s going to be a Naija-centric affair.
All of the other times Nigerian artists have
had guests spots on albums, we usually hear and see them shoe-horned
into a song that is neither Nigerian or was designed to carry their fans
along. But ‘Fine girl’ appeared to be our own local material getting
international exposure.
And it starts off well. Wale brings on the
universal Reggaeton instrumental and beat. The same influence Wizkid
used on the syrupy ‘Daddy Yo’. And this is how they fared:
Olamide was a blessing to the somg. The YBNL
rapper grabbed the chance with both hands to handle the post-hook with a
looping chant.
Olamide verse
“Fine girl, to ni to ni idi nla
To ni to ni idi nla, to ni to ni idi nla
Booty yi, o nse mi ki nla
O nse mi ki nla, o nse mi ki nla`”
He was immense, providing a local balance to
the vibe, and hands-down providing the core highlight of the entire
record. Without Olamide, this would have been regular, with no spark.
Davido on the other hand, failed to properly
bring his best on to the record. Weak line meets weak line, and the
result was this:
“Give me the motion like a motion picture
Show your back, I wan predict your future
Give me love and I give you a return
Star Card or Visa, baby which one you want?
Sachs Fifth, with a east side ting
Rodeo, with a west side ting
Bad boy on a worldwide ting
Don't forget, I'm reppin' green white green
Oh girl you turn me to an animal
For you I throw a carnival
You want it, honey? Take it easy
Shey you nor know say I get stamina
Oh baby come over anytime you want
Do way you whine your body bust my medulla
She be fine girl, she be fine girl
And this one nor be regular”
