Reekado Banks ft Tiwa Savage- Like
Reekado Banks and Tiwa Savage have collaborated on a lot of records but nothing their collaboration on “Like.”
The song, which was released on December 6th, 2017, in honour of his 24th birthday, is a perfected freestyle product in which Reekado mashed up his song ‘Jeje‘ with other hit songs from his contemporaries such as Davido, Wizkid, and Tiwa Savage to create a hook that would naturally find its way into the hearts of his listeners.
Tiwa Savage adds her soft sonic voice to the almost completed piece, while Fiokee demonstrates his instrumental genius on the guitar sound that is a standout feature of the Del’B produced record.
