Mixed reactions trail snippet of Davido’s first single of the year featuring YG Marley
Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido is gearing up to release his first solo single of 2024, teasing an exciting collaboration with YG Marley, a descendant of reggae legend Bob Marley.
This upcoming track marks a significant moment for Davido, who has been focusing on collaborations throughout the year following the release of his “Timeless” album in March 2023.
Davido’s upcoming single is an Amapiano record, a genre that has gained massive popularity in recent years. The collaboration with YG Marley, Bob Marley’s grandson, adds a unique twist to the project, blending Afrobeats and Amapiano with the Marley family’s reggae legacy.
The duo recently teamed up in Nigeria, and fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this creative fusion.
This new track will be Davido’s first solo release in over a year, as he has been involved in several successful collaborations in 2024, including the remix of “Twe Twe” with Kizz Daniel and the remix of “Ogechi” with Boypee, Hyce, and Brown Joel.
Fans are excited to see Davido return with a fresh sound and an intriguing international collaboration.
