Two generations. One vision. Nigerian superstars Wizkid (@wizkidayo) and Asake (@mrmoney) have officially unveiled REAL, Vol. 1, a four-track collaborative EP that feels as intentional as it is inevitable. Rooted in lush Afro-fusion and rhythmic storytelling, the project captures the ease, confidence, and cultural gravity that both artists bring to contemporary Afrobeats. ✨🥁

🎶 Built on Rhythm, Ease, and Cultural Confidence 🔥
Produced by Magicsticks, lol, and 4Tunes, REAL, Vol. 1 carries a cohesive sonic identity—smooth, percussion-led, and spiritually grounded. The EP was first teased in a joint interview back in 2025, and after weeks of speculation and social buzz, the release lands exactly where fans hoped: confident, uncluttered, and deeply rooted in the Afrobeats tradition—without sounding predictable.
The tracklist moves with purpose:
“Jogodo” — a feel-good opener that is smooth and intoxicating.
“Alaye” — breezy and melodic, built for repeat spins.
“Iskolodo” — rhythm-forward and playful.
“Turbulence” — the focus track, pairing subtle experimentation with a dance-ready core.
🚀 A First Full Project, Years in the Making
While Wizkid and Asake have both dominated charts individually—and crossed paths on major records before—REAL, Vol. 1 marks their first full body of work together. It represents a rare collision of eras: Wizkid’s smooth, soulful Starboy sensibility meeting Asake’s high-energy, street-rooted sound that has powered his meteoric global rise.
The EP also arrives as a natural continuation of their chart-topping chemistry, following previous collaborations, including the GRAMMY-nominated “MMS.” Here, that chemistry feels distilled—focused on rhythm, vibe, and mutual respect rather than excess. 🔄🔥
🌍 More Than a Collab—A Cultural Moment
With Wizkid’s 17-year record-breaking legacy and Asake’s award-winning run over the past five years, both artists have been instrumental in pushing Afrobeats to the forefront of global music. Longtime friends and collaborators, they continue to champion each other while proudly representing Nigeria and the wider continent on the world stage.
✨ Final Take
REAL, Vol. 1 isn’t about proving anything—it’s about presence. Experience meets momentum, and the result feels effortless yet monumental. The EP lands as a defining moment in modern Afrobeats: concise, confident, and culturally resonant. Wizkid and Asake don’t chase trends here—they set the tone. For fans of global rhythm, soulful melodies, and Nigerian excellence, this EP is essential listening. 🎧🌍
