Wizkid & Asake Finally Set to Drop Joint EP Real, Vol. 1 on January 23
After months of anticipation, Wizkid and Asake are officially ready to deliver on a promise made late last year. The duo's joint project, Real, Vol. 1, is set for release on January 23rd, marking one of the most talked-about collaborations in recent Afrobeats history.
The EP brings together two artists who dominate the culture in different but complementary ways. Wizkid's laid-back, global-facing sound meets Asake's gritty, street-rooted energy — a pairing fans have long believed was inevitable. Their previous collaborations and shared musical chemistry only fueled expectations for a full body of work.
Real, Vol. 1 is positioned as more than just a collaborative experiment. The title suggests authenticity and intention, hinting at a project grounded in real moments, real sounds, and real synergy. With hype steadily building and fans already locked in, January 23rd now feels like a checkpoint moment for Afrobeats in 2026.
If the rollout so far is any indication, Wizkid and Asake aren't just dropping music — they're setting a tone. And Real, Vol. 1 could be the start of something much bigger.
