Wizkid and Asake just turned up the heat on Afrobeats’ throne room with “Jogodo,” the slick surprise single off their joint EP REAL, Vol. 1—dropping today, January 23 via Starboy Entertainment and YBNL, where Yoruba swagger meets that effortless groove that makes you forget the world outside.
This one’s a straight-up vibe machine, cooked up by Magicsticks with those bouncy synths and percussive kicks that scream Lagos nightlife. It’s peak Afrobeats romance: playful Yoruba bars about bodies “pololo”-ing into “tongolo” chaos, dodging haters with “ogogoro” shots, all while flexing Maybach dreams and icy celebrity highs.

About “Jogodo by Wizkid & Asake”
Wizkid’s smooth croon on the chorus hooks you first— that “no be for here, you go jogodo” line’s already a TikTok chant—then Asake slides in with his rapid-fire flow, turning verses into a dizzy spell of “jowo” pleas and beat-murder boasts. Thematically, it’s pure escapism laced with real talk: chasing tomorrow’s money, holding love close amid the frenzy, evolving from street anthems to this polished, feel-good flex that nods to their shared roots without skipping the global shine.
REAL, Vol. 1 keeps it tight at four tracks, a no-filler collab that’s got fans losing it after weeks of cryptic teases on Wizkid’s Insta and Asake’s X drops. The full lineup—Turbulence kicking it off, Jogodo as the lead heater, Iskolodo’s rumored street edge, and Alaye closing with that boss energy—paints a snapshot of two kings syncing up, blending Wizkid’s melodic wanderlust with Asake’s raw Yoruba punch. No bloated runtime here; it’s a quick-hit manifesto on living loud, produced mostly in-house with Magicsticks at the helm, hinting at more volumes if the streets eat it up like expected.
Wizkid’s been untouchable since Morayo’s reign last year, stacking Grammys and festival crowns, while Asake’s gone from YBNL rookie to sold-out arenas in under three years— this EP’s their victory lap, a passing-of-the-torch moment where the godfather and the heir trade bars like old mates at a Lekki spot. It’s Wiz evolving his loverman sound with fresher edges, Asake dialing back the frenzy for deeper hooks, all timed for that post-holiday reset when we crave sun-soaked bops.
Dive into the Jogodo lyrics below and unpack its raw narrative. Don’t miss other REAL, Vol. 1 tracks for more of Wizkid & Asake’s Afrobeats swagger.
