Afrobeats titans Wizkid and Asake have teamed up for a tantalizing new EP, ‘REAL, Vol. 1.’ And it’s already sending fans into a frenzy before its release.
Today sees the excitement cranked up a notch with the arrival of the set’s lead single, ‘Jogodo.’
A swagger-soaked, flavor-filled affair, the track is powered by hard-hitting percussion courtesy of Magicsticks.
It leans into the semantics of its title, which in Nigerian pidgin means a state of being “intoxicated” or under the influence.
Speaking on their team up, Wiz said:
“Working on this record with Asake came naturally. We speak the same musical language.”
Asake added:
“When Wizkid and I collaborate, it feels special because it’s coming from a real place of friendship, mutual respect, and love for our culture.”
The pair previously made waves with ‘MMS,’ which netted them a GRAMMY-nomination.
Could their latest offering secure them another? Take a listen below and let us know…
