Nigerian music royalty Wizkid and Asake are officially joining forces, and the timing couldn’t be more electric.
The duo announced a collaborative EP titled REAL (Vol. 1), a project they revealed during an Apple Music Radio takeover, instantly sending fans into a frenzy.
Wizkid, ever the minimalist with his words but maximalist with his impact, described the EP as one made “for the people,” hinting at a body of work crafted with cultural pulse and street energy at its core.
Why This EP Is About to Dominate December
Every December in Nigeria births a festive wave known as Detty December — a month-long explosion of concerts, street parties, beach raves and nightlife madness. Dropping an EP in this period is not just strategic; it’s seismic.
With Wizkid’s velvety Afropop global sheen merging with Asake’s adrenaline-charged Fuji–Amapiano–street vibe, REAL (Vol. 1) is shaping up to be the ultimate party soundtrack — from Lagos Island rooftops to diaspora block parties worldwide.
This isn’t a casual collaboration; it’s a full-fledged EP. A statement. A cultural play. A potential season-defining moment.
The First Glimpse — ‘Jogodo’ Shakes the Internet
A teaser titled “Jogodo” dropped during the announcement, and it took only minutes for fan reactions to explode across social media.
Words like “insane chemistry”, “wicked link-up”, and “we are eating REAL good” flooded timelines as listeners praised how naturally the two artists’ styles mesh.
The snippet didn’t just tease sound — it teased dominance.
What This Means for Afrobeats
Industry watchers have described the upcoming EP as a milestone moment in Afrobeats’ evolution. Collaborations of this scale — not one-off singles but complete joint projects — signal a shift toward more ambitious, globally minded artistry.
Fans can expect:
High-energy bangers crafted for dancefloors
Mid-tempo grooves blending Wizkid’s smoothness with Asake’s raw edge
Possible introspective cuts showing the depth both artists often hide between party anthems
Their past success, especially with tracks like MMS from Asake’s 2024 album, already set the tone for high expectations — and many believe this EP could extend its impact well into 2026.
Mystery Keeps the Hype Alive
Despite the buzz, both artists are keeping key details close to their chests.
No confirmed tracklist.
No production credits.
No exact release date — just “December.”
This veil of mystery is only fueling anticipation as fans refresh timelines, waiting for the next reveal.
