The wait is over for fans of African music as two of the continent’s biggest powerhouses, Wizkid and Asake, join forces for their first official collaborative single, “Jogodo.” Produced by the prolific Magicsticks, the track serves as the grand introduction to their upcoming joint EP, REAL, Vol 1.
First teased during a viral Apple Music interview last year, the partnership bridges two distinct worlds: Wizkid’s polished, global Afrobeat elegance and Asake’s signature street-rooted energy and choral harmonies. The result is a sonic masterpiece that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.
“Jogodo” is the lead single from the four-track project, which is scheduled to arrive in full on Friday, January 23. The EP promises a compact but impactful listening experience, showcasing the chemistry between the “Big Wiz” and the “Mr. Money” of the industry.
Reunited with his frequent collaborator Asake, producer Magicsticks provides the rhythmic backbone for “Jogodo.” The production blends heavy log drums with melodic layers, creating a canvas that allows Wizkid’s smooth delivery and Asake’s infectious cadence to shine in equal measure.
As the lead-up to the full EP release begins, “Jogodo” is already positioned to be the definitive anthem of the season, marking a historic moment for the Nigerian music scene as two era-defining artists finally merge their creative visions.
“Jogodo” is available to stream now on all digital platforms.
