Music Box: Wizkid: Long Live Lagos

Wizkid walks the familiar streets of Ajangale, Lagos, far from the stadium lights. The camera captures not the global superstar, but the boy who once recorded demos on borrowed equipment. In this documentary, the scent of street food and the crackle of local radio stations form the backdrop as he revisits the producers who first believed in him and the neighborhood that shaped his sound. Through intimate conversations with his mother on a weathered porch and raw jam sessions with hometown musicians, the film peels back the layers of fame. It’s a journey into the roots of Afrobeats, told not as a triumph narrative, but as a series of personal memories and unedited moments. Archival footage of early performances blends with present-day reflections, mapping how Lagos poured its rhythm into one of its most iconic voices.
