Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Asake have released the official music video for their new song, “Turbulence.” The track opens their joint EP, REAL, Vol. 1, which dropped globally on January 22, 2026.
The project is distributed by Starboy Entertainment, GIRAN Republic, and EMPIRE. The video premiered the same day, giving fans both the music and visuals at once.
“Turbulence” was produced by Magicsticks, with engineering support from Lolu and 4Tunes. The song by Wizkid and Asake carries a smooth, mid-tempo Afrobeats sound. It blends log drums with soft synths, creating a calm but powerful street-pop vibe.
The music video keeps things simple and stylish. It uses dark lighting, industrial settings, and slow camera movements. Instead of a heavy storyline, the visuals focus on mood and atmosphere. There are also subtle nods to Nigerian culture and identity.
The EP follows the success of the lead single, “Jogodo,” which topped streaming charts across West Africa earlier this month. REAL, Vol. 1 is the duo’s official follow-up to their 2024 collaboration, “MMS.”
Here’s the full tracklist:
- Turbulence
- Jogodo
- Iskolodo
- Alaye
The project brings together Wizkid’s global influence and Asake’s strong local dominance. This combination positions the EP as one of the most important Afrobeats releases of early 2026.
Industry reports show that the “Turbulence” video gained over 800,000 views within its first 24 hours. This strong debut signals high fan interest and solid momentum for the collaboration.
With both artists at the top of their game, REAL, Vol. 1 is set to leave a lasting mark on the Afrobeats scene this year.
