10 months after the release of his internationally acclaimed album, Made in Lagos, Wizkid has dropped the deluxe version containing four extra songs. On the Made in Lagos deluxe is Mood which features rising artist Buju. This song has been highly anticipated since photos and videos of Big Wiz and Buju circulated on the internet a few months back. Mood, along with the others, definitely lives up to the standard of the original album.
