Wizkid and Asake have officially confirmed plans to release a joint EP titled REAL (Vol. 1), set to arrive this December. The announcement was made during their Apple Music Radio takeover, where both artists spoke about the project, instantly sending fans into speculation mode.
The confirmation carries weight because this collaboration didn’t come out of nowhere. Wizkid and Asake first linked up in 2024, and since then, they’ve quietly built chemistry through four songs released together. That growing catalog has now led to a full joint project, with REAL (Vol. 1) positioned as the next step.
From Studio Links to a Joint EP
What stands out about REAL (Vol. 1) is how deliberately it has been built. Rather than jumping straight into a collaborative project, Wizkid and Asake tested their synergy over time. Each release sharpened the connection, allowing listeners to hear how their styles intersect: Wizkid’s controlled delivery meeting Asake’s chant-driven energy.
By the time the Apple Music Radio announcement landed, the EP felt less like a surprise and more like a progression. Fans who had followed their earlier records already recognized the direction this partnership was taking.
What We Know About REAL (Vol. 1)
At this stage, details remain focused on the essentials. REAL (Vol. 1) is confirmed for December, and its title suggests an ongoing series rather than a one-off release. There has been no official word yet on the number of tracks, featured artists, or producers, keeping attention squarely on the collaboration itself.
The fact that the announcement came directly from both artists during a curated radio moment added credibility and intention. This was not a leak or rumor cycle, but a controlled reveal.
Fan Response So Far
Reaction to the news has been immediate. Online conversations have centered on how the EP might sound and whether it will lean more toward Wizkid’s recent refined approach or Asake’s percussive, high-energy style. Others are simply focused on the volume of work the duo has already shared and how that chemistry might stretch across a full project.
With December here, REAL (Vol. 1) now sits among the most closely watched releases on the Afrobeats calendar because the groundwork has already been laid.
