Jamaican dancehall star Shenseea joins Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweight Asake on Playtime, an international collaboration that brings two distinctive musical styles together for an energetic exchange.
The track connects Shenseea’s dancehall approach with Asake’s recognisable Afrobeats delivery, creating a meeting point between Caribbean rhythms and Nigerian street-pop influences. The combination gives the record a cross-cultural identity, with both artists bringing their individual musical character to the collaboration.
The song is scheduled to appear as the second track on Shenseea’s eight-track EP, CATALYST, arriving November 6, 2026, through Since ’93 and Columbia Records. The project also features Vybz Kartel and Loe Shimmy on separate tracks.
The pairing is particularly interesting because it connects two influential scenes with different musical traditions. Shenseea brings Jamaica’s dancehall identity, while Asake adds a Nigerian sound that has attracted listeners across international markets.
Fans of Afrobeats, dancehall and cross-border collaborations will have a reason to check out this release. It also creates an exciting connection between Nigerian and Jamaican music audiences.
