Nigerian singer Egertton has joined forces with street-pop rapper Lil Kesh on “Jo Kin Jo,” uniting two generations of Nigerian music.
The song had been building anticipation well before it landed. Egertton shared snippets online, while the pair were spotted shooting the official music video in October. So the buzz was already there.
Lil Kesh brings his familiar energetic delivery to the recording. The rapper became a household name through songs such as “Shoki,” “Efejoku” and “Gbese,” and his contribution adds street-pop flavour to the collaboration.
Production is handled by Topsy and Primeau, with Primeau also credited in the release promotions. The instrumental gives both artists room to bring their individual styles into the song.
For Egertton, “Jo Kin Jo” is another chance to introduce his music to a wider audience. He has been steadily building his profile as an emerging Nigerian artist, mixing catchy melodies with contemporary Afrobeats influences.
So did the record meet the expectation the snippets created? That answer belongs to the listeners now.
