Award-winning Nigerian music sensation Wande Coal has decided to delay the release of his upcoming album ‘Legend or No Legend’ by one week. He made this revelation via the updated release date which now reflects on music streaming platforms.

0

In the past few days, a series of Soweto Remix snippets with artists like Omah Lay, CKay, and Don Toliver surfaced online and we were unsure who Victony was finally going to remix the song with. Fast forward to today, the gifted singer, rapper and songwriter have released the official remix of the infectious banger ‘Soweto‘ featuring American singer, Don Toliver and Afrobeats golden boy, Rema.

The Tempoe-produced joint has thus far been one of the most successful records in Victony’s young catalogue. The original version is housed under the singer’s 2022 extended play ‘Outlaw‘ which is in fact acclaimed by many to be one of the best Afrobeats projects of 2022.

On ‘Soweto‘ remix, Don Toliver and Rema added the needed seasoning to the track. They both delivered their polling units; flowing seamlessly on the mellifluous instrumentation of the track, provided by one of the most talented beatmakers in the Nigerian music industry, the one and only Tempoe.

Are we going to get the version with Omah Lay and CKay? Time will tell.
