Nigerian singers and songwriters Oberz, Ric Hassani, and Dai Verse deliver a collaborative record titled Shako. Produced by Willi Willii, the single arrives under the joint imprint of The Bridge and Scoop. Oberz, a Lagos-born artist, previously built a reputation as a powerhouse vocalist under the Zanku Records label, contributing to several street-pop hits before expanding his sonic range. Ric Hassani, hailing from Port Harcourt, established himself as a premier alternative-soul figure following the nineteen-seventeen success of his debut album, The Gentleman. Dai Verse represents the new wave of Afro-fusion, having gained widespread acclaim for his twenty-twenty-one breakout single, Your Body, which highlighted his ability to blend smooth melodies with rhythmic percussion.

The release of Shako follows a period of individual successes for the trio across the West African music landscape. Ric Hassani’s history includes a nomination for Best Alternative Album at the Headies, solidifying his status as a technical leader in the Nigerian vocal space. Oberz maintains a history of high-energy performances that bridge the gap between afrobeats and contemporary R&B. By combining these diverse backgrounds, the artists create a sound that targets both radio airwaves and the digital streaming market. This collaboration serves as a primary piece in their twenty-twenty-six music calendar, catering to an audience that values the technical precision of professional vocalists alongside high-quality production.
