Two Afrobeats heavyweights, Wizkid and Asake, have released a new single titled ‘Jogodo’ to kick-start the New Year.
The track was released ahead of their forthcoming joint EP, ‘REAL, Vol. 1’ which is scheduled for release on January 23, 2026.
‘Jogodo’ sets the tone for the collaborative project, blending Wizkid’s laid-back global sound with Asake’s street-rooted style.
Other tracks listed on the EP include ‘Turbulence’, ‘Iskolodo’ and ‘Alaye’.
Speaking on the collaboration, Wizkid described the process as effortless as they are both creatively aligned.
“Working on this record with Asake came naturally. We speak the same musical language,” he said.
For Asake the collaboration happens out of respect for African culture.
“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,” he said.
