Joshua Baraka is back with Axon on “Army,” the closing track on his new EP Recess II, and it lands in Afrobeats. The Ugandan singer handles lead vocals here, while Axon adds his own performance and production work.
It is the seventh and final song on the seven-track project, which arrived on November 12, 2026, through Moves Recordings. The pairing is not new either. Axon has featured on Joshua’s journey before, including on “Dalilah II” and “Morocco,” so “Army” carries a familiar chemistry into the EP’s last slot.
Recess II spreads its features across borders. Tiwa Savage appears on “Commando,” Mr Eazi joins on “BeBe,” and Kenyan group Watendawili turns up on “Call On Me / Jowo.” Other cuts include “Home,” “YoYo” and “what do i know.”
That mix of guests says plenty about where Joshua Baraka is headed. He keeps his sound rooted in melody and smooth vocals, yet he is clearly open to building across markets. “Army” makes sense as the closer because it ends the project on a sound he and Axon already know well.
