Wizkid & Asake “Real” EP/Album — DjMondo Honest Music Review
When Wizkid and Asake come together, the expectations are not just high — they’re cultural.
“Real” doesn’t feel like a random collaboration or a hype-driven link-up. It sounds intentional, confident, and rooted in presence. This is a project that leans on feel more than flash.
Here’s DjMondo’s take on the sound, chemistry, and overall impact.
First Impression
The first thing “Real” does well is tone-setting.
The production choices are smooth, understated, and grown. No rush. No forced tempo. The project invites listeners into a calm but powerful space — the kind Wizkid has mastered, with Asake adding raw edge and street presence.
Wizkid: Effortless Control
Wizkid sounds exactly like an artist who knows who he is.
There’s no over-singing, no proving points. His delivery is relaxed, confident, and intentional — the type that comes from experience and catalog depth.
He focuses on:
- Melody over lyrics-heavy moments
- Vibe construction
- Subtle emotional cues
This is Wizkid operating from comfort and control.
Asake: Energy with Direction
Asake brings contrast — not chaos.
His vocals cut through with grit and urgency, but they never overpower the record. Instead, they ground it. The street chants, Yoruba expressions, and hunger in his tone add texture to Wizkid’s smooth delivery.
What stands out is discipline. Asake doesn’t overshoot. He adapts.
That growth shows.
Chemistry: Natural, Not Forced
The biggest win on “Real” is chemistry.
It doesn’t sound like two stars sharing a mic for numbers. It sounds like two artists who understand space, timing, and restraint.
Each voice complements the other:
- Wizkid sets the mood
- Asake injects raw emotion
No one is competing. Everyone is contributing.
Production & Sound Direction
The production stays true to modern Afrobeats minimalism.
Expect:
- Laid-back drums
- Warm basslines
- Atmospheric layers
This project is not designed for instant virality — it’s built for repeat listens.
Hit Project or Culture Project?
“Real” doesn’t scream club banger.
Instead, it sits comfortably as a lifestyle project — music for drives, late nights, and personal moments.
Those are often the projects that age the best.
DjMondo’s Verdict
Wizkid & Asake — “Real” is calm confidence packaged as music.
No unnecessary risks. No forced experimentation. Just two artists understanding their strengths and respecting the sound.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
This is not noise. It’s presence.
