Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Asake have unveiled a new joint release, “Jogodo,” a sleek and immersive track that serves as the opening statement for their upcoming collaborative project, REAL, Vol. 1.
Warm, addictive and richly melodic, the single signals the chemistry and creative confidence behind what is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about pairings in Nigerian music.
Carried by driving rhythms and striking horn flourishes, the record balances bravado with feeling. Sung in Nigerian Pidgin, the song revolves around the idea of “Jogodo” — a state of intoxication or being caught in a heady moment. Asake and Wizkid move fluidly between verses, their distinct vocal styles locking together naturally to create a track that feels both effortless and deeply rooted in their shared musical language.
