Wizkid & Asake Release REAL, Vol. 1 Project

When two of Lagos’ biggest forces link up, you know it’s special. REAL, Vol. 1 brings together Wizkid and Asake two artists who, despite being from different generations, have both carried the sound of Afrobeats to global heights. There’s over a decade between their come-ups, but their chemistry feels effortless.

From the jump, you can hear that shared confidence. On “Iskolodo,” they glide over a smooth amapiano-inspired beat, flexing their wins while keeping things understated and stylish. Then there’s “Jogodo,” where Asake’s frequent collaborator Magicsticks adds that signature bounce that instantly takes you back to Afrobeats’ golden energy of 2022. By the time “Turbulence” rolls in, the tempo slows, trading hype for introspection all while keeping that lush, log-drum-heavy groove running through.

Two years after their “MMS” collaboration, Wizkid and Asake are back with something that feels both fresh and nostalgic — a celebration of Lagos pride, musical evolution, and two icons fully in sync. REAL, Vol. 1 isn’t just a link-up; it’s a cultural moment.
