5 times King Promise has delivered on his Nigerian collaborations

In the intersection between the Nigerian and Ghanaian ends of Afrobeats, we have seen different collaborations over the years. In the early 2000s Nigerian music giant 2Baba and Ghanaian Afrobeats Pioneer V.I.P. In the 2010s, we say collaborations between R2Bs and Wande Coal, Wizkid and Davido. Sarkodie has collaborated with Ice Prince, Vector, Zlatan, Masterkraft, and Banky W, amongst other Nigerian acts. Stonebwoy has collaborated with his pal Davido and DJ Neptune. We also can't forget the contributions of Mr. Eazi whose career is a hybrid between the Nigerian and Ghanaian ends of Afrobeats.

A unique thread that runs through these collaborations is the notable distinction between the artists involved. The Ghanaian artists always tend to lean predominantly toward the Ghanaian sound while the Nigerian artists offer the Afrobeats sound primarily domesticated in Nigeria but with its tentacles spread abroad.

One Ghanaian artist who has however been able to match the quintessential Afrobeats appeal ability of Nigeria acts is King Promise. The superstar has been able to create Afrobeats music stripped of the overburdening Ghanaian elements thereby creating quintessential Afrobeats song that is appealing across the board.

Perhaps, there's no better way to showcase King Promise's Afrobeats credentials than through his collaborations with Nigerian Afrobeats superstars.

These are 6 songs on which the 5 Star artist has proven that he's an Afrobeats maestro.

King Promise feat Simi - 'Selfish Part 2'

In the single, King Promise provides a tingling R&B duet with Simi where he laid the Afrobeats melody for Simi to come in and lay her vocals which perfectly complimented King Promise's rich vocals.
