Following a string of chart-topping collaborations, Wizkid and Asake present a tightly curated project built around rhythm, ease, and cultural confidence. While both artists have individually dominated charts for years, this marks their first full-length project together. REAL, Vol. 1 is a monumental collision of two eras of African music excellence: the smooth, soulful vibes of Wizkid’s Starboy era and the infectious, high-energy sound that has made Asake a global sensation. The EP is a highly anticipated follow-up to their previous hits, including the GRAMMY-nominated “MMS.”
Wizkid’s 17-year, record-breaking legacy as a global Afrobeats pioneer meets Asake’s award-winning, chart-dominating rise over the past five years. Both have been pivotal in pushing African music to the forefront of global charts. Longtime friends and collaborators, Wizkid and Asake continue to champion each other’s artistry, proudly representing Nigeria and the continent’s cultural impact worldwide. REAL, Vol. 1 solidifies a partnership that blends experience, momentum, and relevance at the highest level.
