"Baddest Boy" is a song by E.M.E acts Wizkid, Skales, and Banky W. Released on April 5, 2012, it serves as the lead single from the label's compilation album, Empire Mates State of Mind (2012). A leaked version of the song, featuring vocals from Wizkid and Skales, surfaced on the internet prior to its official release.[1][2][3] OkayAfrica described "Baddest Boy" as a "banger with synths that resemble a heavily screwed “Akpako Master”.[4] The song was produced by the record producing duo Legendury Beatz.
In an interview with MTV Iggy's Beverly Bryan, Wizkid was asked about the song's recording process. He responded, saying, "So, I went into the studio and I heard the beat. And Skales starts working on this verse. And then I came on. And then Banky did his verse. And then the song came out and it’s a successful song. I’m thankful for that."[5]
