Two Afrobeats heavyweights, Wizkid\u00a0and Asake, have released a new single titled \u2018Jogodo\u2019 to kick-start the New Year.<\/p>\n
The track was released ahead of their forthcoming joint EP, \u2018REAL, Vol. 1\u2019 which is scheduled for release on January 23, 2026.<\/p>\n
\u2018Jogodo\u2019 sets the tone for the collaborative project, blending Wizkid\u2019s laid-back global sound with Asake\u2019s street-rooted style.<\/p>\n
When Wizkid and Asake come together, it\u2019s never just another release \u00a0it\u2019s a cultural event. Their 2026 collaboration \u201cJogodo\u201d proves exactly that, standing as one of the most talked-about Afrobeats records of the year and a clear statement of intent from two artists at the peak of their powers.<\/p>\n
Released in January 2026, \u201cJogodo\u201d arrived as the lead single from Wizkid and Asake\u2019s joint EP, Real (Vol. 1). The track immediately sparked excitement across Africa and the diaspora, not only because of the star power involved, but because fans had long anticipated a deeper collaboration between the two beyond guest verses.<\/p>\n
Their chemistry was already proven, but \u201cJogodo\u201d takes it further it sounds intentional, effortless, and rooted in shared identity.<\/p>\n
In Nigerian street slang and Pidgin English, \u201cjogodo\u201d loosely translates to being high, tipsy, or lost in enjoyment. The word perfectly captures the song\u2019s essence: nightlife, rhythm, pleasure, and the intoxicating feeling of living in the moment.<\/p>\n
Other tracks listed on the EP include \u2018Turbulence\u2019, \u2018Iskolodo\u2019 and \u2018Alaye\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
