DARKOO x 9ICE Reignite a Classic with Gongo Aso Sampled Track – Out June 27
Something iconic is on the way. British-Nigerian music sensation Darkoo is joining forces with one of Nigeria’s most legendary voices, 9ice, to deliver a thrilling new collaboration – and it’s built around one of the most unforgettable hooks in Afrobeats history: Gongo Aso.
Scheduled to drop on June 27, this track isn’t just a remix – it’s a reawakening. By sampling the era-defining anthem Gongo Aso, originally released by 9ice in 2008, Darkoo bridges generations of Nigerian music lovers and delivers a powerful fusion of nostalgia and modern-day rhythm.
This collaboration is more than just a song – it’s a cultural moment. 9ice’s gritty Yoruba lyricism and legendary cadence meet Darkoo’s slick Afro-fusion flow and international appeal, making it a highly anticipated drop for fans of both artists and lovers of Nigerian music.
