- In 2008, Wande dropped his hit single, ‘Bumper to Bumper’ which became an instant hit from Ojota to Suleja, Mokola to Lokoja and even beyond the shores of the country.
- He dropped his debut album, ‘Mushin to Mohits’ in 2009.
- The album also contained popular tracks like ‘You Bad’, ‘Taboo’ ‘Who Born The Maga’, ‘Sope Ti e’ and many more.

- Both Don Jazzy and Wade Coal have however since buried the hatchet. ‘Don Jazzy is like a father to me. But like you are married and left your mom and dad, life must go on. I’m happy that my brand name, Black Diamond is now a reality. I’m rather grateful to God for the opportunity to actualize my dream,’ Wande once revealed in an interview.
