The music scene is gearing up for a major moment as Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Asake officially announce a collaborative project titled “REAL.”
The surprise reveal, delivered in an energetic freestyle-style teaser, has already sent fans into a frenzy ahead of its December release.
According to the announcement, the project—described as a “movement”—promises a fresh fusion of Wizkid’s signature smooth Afrobeats sound and Asake’s energetic, street-rooted style.
DJ Tunez hinted that “REAL” is designed as a gift to fans to close out 2025, calling it a “Christmas present” for listeners worldwide.
The collaboration marks the first time the two chart-topping acts will be releasing a full joint body of work. Industry watchers say the union of Wizkid’s global appeal and Asake’s explosive rise could easily position “REAL” as one of the biggest releases of the year.
Though details of the tracklist and featured producers remain under wraps, the artists’ confident tone—paired with their repeated assurance that fans “heard it here first”—has only heightened anticipation.
With December fast approaching, Afrobeats lovers everywhere are bracing for what could be a defining moment for the genre.
“REAL” is coming—and the streets, the charts, and the holiday playlist season are all getting ready.
