Darkoo has announced that she would be releasing a sample version of the hit song ‘Gongo Aso’ which would also feature 9ice himself.
UK-based Nigerian rapper and singer Darkoo is set to drop a sizzling collaboration with legendary Afrobeat star 9ice, and it’s already generating massive buzz following the revelation that the song will be a sample of arguably one of the biggest tracks in tthe NIgerian music industry, ‘Gongo Aso.’
Titled yet to be revealed, the track is slated for release on June 27, and features a nostalgic twist, a sample of 9ice’s iconic hit “Gongo Aso”.
“Gongo Aso,” originally released in 2008, was a defining anthem in Nigerian music, earning 9ice nationwide acclaim and solidifying his place in Afrobeats history.
Now, nearly two decades later, Darkoo is breathing new life into the classic with a modern-day spin that blends her signature UK drill and Afro-fusion sound with 9ice’s timeless Yoruba melodies.
The collaboration is being hailed as an exciting cross-generational link between two dynamic artists one representing the new school with global flair, and the other an enduring voice from Nigeria’s golden era of music.
From the nostalgic undertone of the sample to the infectious rhythm expected from both stars, this is shaping up to be a powerful summer anthem.
