Global Afrobeats icons Wizkid and Asake have officially joined forces to release a highly anticipated joint EP titled REAL, a project that feels less like a collaboration and more like a cultural statement.
Real is the sound of two artists at the peak of their powers, meeting at a point where confidence, clarity, and creative freedom intersect. Across the EP, Wizkid’s effortless calm and melodic finesse blend seamlessly with Asake’s raw energy, street-rooted spirituality, and unapologetic intensity. The result is a body of work that feels grounded, fearless, and deeply authentic.
From layered rhythms to hypnotic hooks, REAL captures the spirit of contemporary Afrobeats while pushing its boundaries. The EP explores themes of self-belief, growth, love, loyalty, and success – all delivered with the unmistakable sonic signatures that have made both artists global forces.
This collaboration also marks a powerful moment for African music on the world stage. Wizkid, a pioneer who has helped shape Afrobeats into a global movement, and Asake, one of the genre’s most exciting and disruptive voices, come together to remind listeners what it means to stay true to self while evolving boldly.
Real is more than music – it’s a reflection of where Afrobeats is right now, and a glimpse of where it’s headed.
The EP is available now on all major streaming platforms. http://music.empi.re/realvol1
