Wizkid and Asake reunite on “Jogodo,” a silky, swagger-filled new single that arrives as the first taste of their forthcoming joint EP REAL, Vol. 1. Effortlessly smooth and rhythm-forward, the track leans on pulsing percussion and bold brass arrangements, creating a soulful groove that highlights the chemistry between two of Afrobeats’ most influential voices.
Performed in Nigerian Pidgin, “Jogodo” plays with themes of intoxication, freedom, and late-night release, with Wizkid and Asake trading verses in a relaxed, conversational flow. Their vocal interplay feels natural and unforced, reflecting a collaboration rooted in shared culture and mutual respect. Wizkid describes the process as instinctive, noting that they “speak the same musical language,” while Asake adds that the record comes from a place of genuine friendship and creative alignment.
The release follows the duo’s Grammy-nominated hit “MMS” and continues a run of landmark moments for both artists, each of whom has helped push Afrobeats to the center of global music culture. “Jogodo” also marks Asake’s first new release since his historic Red Bull Symphonic performance in the United States. As anticipation builds for REAL, Vol. 1, the single sets a confident, celebratory tone for what promises to be one of the most talked-about collaborations in contemporary African music.
