Afrobeats stars Wizkid and Asake have released their joint EP, a week after unveiling its lead single, Jogodo, and weeks after announcing the project during an Apple Music session.

The EP, titled Real EP Vol. 1, was released on January 23, following the earlier release of its lead single, Jogodo, on January 16, 2026.

The song served as a teaser for the project and got a massive reception across streaming platforms.

Both artists announced the EP’s arrival in a collaborative Instagram post, sharing a short promotional video. The post was captioned in Yoruba, “Real EP Vol. 1 ti jade bayi,” which translates to “Real EP Vol. 1 is out now.”

The four-track EP features Turbulence, Jogodo, Iskolodo, and Alaye.

The release comes after Wizkid and Asake had earlier promised fans that the EP would arrive in December 2025.

That promise was made during an Apple Music session where the duo discussed their creative process and hinted at an imminent joint project.

Wizkid, whose full name is Ayodeji Balogun, and Asake, born Ahmed Ololade, have built a musical chemistry over the past few years. Their collaborations have consistently performed well.

One of their most notable collaborations, MMS, was among the top five most streamed songs on Apple Music Nigeria in 2025.

Another collaboration, Bad Girl, featured on Wizkid’s album Morayo, also recorded strong streaming numbers and fan reception.

Beyond their joint projects, both artistes enjoyed an impressive individual run in 2025.

Wizkid continued to maintain his position as one of Africa’s most influential music exports. Despite being released in 2024, Morayo went on to become the most streamed album on Apple Music Nigeria in 2025.

Asake, on the other hand, remained a dominant force in the Nigerian music scene, with his hit single Why Love emerging as the most streamed song on Apple Music Nigeria in 2025.

The release of Real EP Vol. 1 appears to be a natural progression of their growing musical partnership.

In the same Instagram session, the duo also made headlines for their comments on the future of music and technology.

Wizkid described artificial intelligence as “the future,” urging creatives to use it as a tool rather than fear it.

Asake responded with humour, saying he would not mind AI performing on his behalf, as long as the earnings were paid directly into his account.
