Get ready to turn up the volume—Jon Kore is about to deliver the soundtrack to your summer. On Friday, July 18th, the fast-rising Nigerian artist teams up with dynamic collaborator Badman Yard to release their highly anticipated single, “UJU.”
“UJU” is an irresistible sonic love letter to a girl who’s got everyone’s attention—but especially Jon Kore’s. Packed with charm, smooth vocals, and undeniable chemistry between the two artists, the track delivers romance with swagger and heat with style. Produced with finesse and soul, the single blends classic Afrobeat elements with a modern, genre-fluid sound that reflects the new wave of Nigerian music. It’s romantic, playful, and undeniably addictive.
“‘UJU’ is about that girl who walks in and steals the air from the room,” Jon Kore shares. “She’s graceful, beautiful, and a bit mysterious. This is me trying to serenade her the Nigerian way—with vibes and good music.”
Badman Yard brings his signature flavour to the track, fusing slick bars with melody to elevate the groove. Produced with precision, the result is a song that’s perfect for chilled drives, rooftop parties, or that one playlist you put on when you're trying to impress.
“UJU” releases worldwide on July 18th, 2025, and will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
