Darkoo and Asake have joined forces on “THAT GIRL!”, a confident new collaboration celebrating self-assurance and swagger.
The record pairs Darkoo’s sharp, drill-honed delivery with Asake’s melodic Yoruba-inflected hooks, a combination that bridges UK rap sensibilities with Nigerian Afrobeats production.
Darkoo, born in Lagos and raised in South London, first broke through with “Gangsta” in 2019, a viral hit that made her one of the more distinctive voices bridging British hip hop and Afrobeats.
Asake continues to build on his 2026 momentum, following his M$NEY album run and standout single “Gratitude,” further extending his reach into cross-continental collaborations.
“THAT GIRL!” showcases the growing overlap between the UK’s Afrobeats-adjacent rap scene and Nigeria’s mainstream Afrobeats stars, a pairing that continues to expand the genre’s global reach.
THAT GIRL! by Darkoo and Asake is available on all streaming platforms.
