The sold-out concert delivered a breathtaking fusion of Afrobeats and classical music, creating a sonic masterpiece that had the crowd on its feet in awe.

Performing with a 33-piece orchestra, Asake reimagined some of his biggest hits, including “Lonely at the Top” and “Terminator,” transforming them into sweeping symphonic renditions without losing the Fuji and Amapiano energy that defines his sound.

The blend highlighted his artistic versatility and underscored Afrobeats’ growing global influence.

The night became even more electrifying with surprise appearances from global stars Wizkid, Gunna, Central Cee, Tiakola, and Fridayy, who joined Asake for powerful collaborations on songs like “MMS” and “Happiness.”

More than a concert, the night marked a cultural milestone for African music. Asake’s groundbreaking Red Bull Symphonic performance showcased Afrobeats’ power to transcend borders and genres, while cementing his place as one of the genre’s most innovative global ambassadors.

As the final notes echoed through Kings Theatre, one thing was clear: Asake’s Brooklyn debut wasn’t just a performance, it was history in motion: a celebration of artistic brilliance, cultural pride, and Afrobeats’ unstoppable rise on the world stage.

The track, crafted by production duo Ben10k and Semzi, is a glowing showcase of both artists’ distinctive artistry.

From the moment it begins, Glory II signals something purposeful. Victony, known for his introspective songwriting and emotional depth, leans into his strengths here, penning lyrics that navigate personal growth, struggle, and the quiet victory that comes with resilience.

His delivery is thoughtful, sincere, and layered, echoing the vulnerability that has made him one of the most compelling voices in Afrobeats today.

Enter Fridayy, whose soaring, gospel-rooted vocals add a dimension of spiritual gravity to the record. His performance brings texture and richness, delivering heartfelt emotion with every note.

It’s a dynamic pairing: Victony’s grounded storytelling and Fridayy’s soul-stirring expressions create a song that feels both personal and universal, a reflection, a prayer, and a celebration all in one.

The production is equally worth applauding. Ben10k and Semzi construct a rich, immersive soundscape where modern Afrobeats percussion meets warm gospel organ chords, creating a unique sonic palette that honours the traditions of both genres while charting new territory. It’s smooth, layered, and quietly anthemic.

It reflects the growing synergy between African and Western music scenes, where artists are increasingly finding common ground in themes of spirituality, vulnerability, and upliftment.

For Fridayy, Glory II further cements his reputation as a versatile artist capable of bridging genres. His ability to bring his gospel-influenced style into a contemporary Afrobeats context is both seamless and refreshing, proving that soul transcends borders.

Now available on all streaming platforms, Glory II is more than just a song—it’s a statement of purpose from two of the most emotionally resonant voices in music today.

Nigerian award-winning artist David Adedeji Adeleke, known professionally as Davido, has spoken out about a Drake sample that was meant to be included in his new album ‘Timeless.’

The DMW founder was meant to feature Drake’s voice on his upcoming album, but that didn’t happen.

The highly awaited studio album “Timeless” by the international sensation from Nigeria has finally been released.

The 17-track album serves as the 4th in Davido’s highly decorated catalogue, following its predecessors, ‘A Better Time’, ‘A Good Time’, and ‘Omo Baba Olowo (The Genesis)’.

With guest appearances from the likes of Skepta, Angelique Kidjo, Asake, Musa Keys, Focalistic, FAVE, The Cavemen, Dexta Daps, and the newly signed artists on his rebranded DMW 2.0 imprint; Logos Olori and Morravey were featured on the project.

In an interview with BEAT FM, who renamed themselves TIMELESS FM (meant to last two days) in honor of the musician, the singer revealed that Fridayy, a DJ Khaled-endorsed song featuring a Drake sample, was supposed to be on the album but that it couldn’t be cleared in time, forcing him to proceed with the album’s release without it.

In addition, Davido announced that the deluxe edition of the album would come after and most likely contain the aforementioned song. During the conversation, he also acknowledged Drake for helping him in clearing the sample.
