Popular Nigerian artist Seun Kuti has released his new single, 'Dey,' which features four-time Grammy Award winner Damian Marley.

The highly anticipated collaboration combines the raw energy of Afrobeat with the rhythmic swagger of reggae, forming a connection between Nigeria and Jamaica that will fascinate listeners.

'Dey' is the first song from his next album with Egypt 80, 'Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head),' due out on October 4th.

Seun Kuti stated his strong feelings about 'Dey,' emphasizing its unique significance. He sees this cooperation as a watershed moment for African unity, art, and brotherhood, as it is the first time a Kuti and a Marley have appeared on the same album.

On 'Dey', Seun Kuti sings about his desire to live life on his terms through lyrics that convey his views on the materialism shaping society, especially in his home country Nigeria where money is worshipped.

The single is available on all streaming platforms and listeners can enjoy the historic collaboration by stellar artists from two of the most iconic music families in history.
