Wizkid and Asake have just ignited the Afrobeats scene with “Jogodo”, a smooth, groove-heavy new single that serves as the lead track from their long-anticipated joint EP, REAL (Vol. 1) .

“Jogodo” marks a major moment in Afrobeats for 2026, bringing together two of Nigeria’s most influential artists at the top of their creative powers. Wizkid’s signature melodic cool blends seamlessly with Asake’s high-energy, street-fused style, creating a relaxed yet infectious groove built around pulsing percussion and rich brass that feels perfect for everything from late-night lounges to packed dance floors.

The title itself, jogodo is slang for being intoxicated or in an elevated, carefree state, and the song leans into that vibe with lyrics in Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba that celebrate dancing, nightlife, and living in the moment.

What sets “Jogodo” apart is not just the beat but the effortless interplay between Wizkid and Asake. The two trade verses with a conversational flow, Wizkid’s mellow cool offset by Asake’s multi-layered vocal textures — creating a track that feels both luxurious and easygoing.

Rather than chase aggressive chart formulas, the song leans into vibe and melody, signaling that what lies ahead on REAL (Vol. 1) is a creative passion project rooted in mutual respect and synergy.
