Why Awuke by Davido and YG Marley Is the Talk of the Town

BY ALIMOTU SHADIAT

Davido’s new single, Awuke, is a catchy fusion of Afrobeat and Amapiano, topped off with a reggae twist thanks to YG Marley, grandson of music legend Bob Marley. Following the success of his album Timeless, this track proves Davido’s knack for staying on top of the African music scene while bringing something fresh. Not long after its release, Awuke shot to #1 on Apple Music Nigeria, and it’s still riding high in the top 4.

The song is all about love and admiration, with Davido’s playful lyrics comparing his muse’s charm to “sweet jollof”—a nod that’s sure to hit home with Nigerian fans. YG Marley’s reggae-infused verse promises a different kind of love, adding a cool contrast to Davido’s vibrant energy.

With its deep Amapiano beats and irresistible rhythm, Awuke is perfect for dancing. Mikakabeatz and Marvey Muzique did a great job on production, balancing Davido and Marley’s vocals seamlessly. Plus, the Daps-directed video, filmed in Lagos, is full of color, dance, and urban vibes that bring the song to life.
