The Afrobeats royalty has spoken, and she’s brought British-Nigerian rap royalty along for the ride. Tiwa Savage’s latest single On The Low featuring Skepta is a masterclass in cross-continental chemistry that unites Lagos and London with effortless sophistication.
After weeks of subtle hints and teaser clips, Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage and British-Nigerian rapper Skepta have finally made it official with their much-anticipated collaboration. The titan-sized team-up sees the Afrobeats diva and the UK Rap heavyweight trade verses on the Rymez-produced track, creating what industry insiders are already calling one of the summer’s most impressive partnerships.
It is a collaboration long in the making between two artists who understand the power of diaspora connections. Both Nigerian-rooted but representing different continents, Tiwa and Skepta bring their unique perspectives to create something that feels familiar yet refreshingly new.
On The Low sets the stage for Tiwa Savage’s upcoming album, This One Is Personal, her fourth, which is reportedly set for release on August 29, 2025. The timing couldn’t be more strategic, positioning this collaboration as a taste of what promises to be Tiwa Savage’s most ambitious project yet.
It’s been a huge summer for the afrobeats queen, who will release her epic album ‘This One Is Personal’ on August 29th, and the Skepta collaboration suggests she’s pulling out all the stops. The track demonstrates her ambition and blossoming clout as she continues to expand her reach across global markets.
The Rymez production provides the perfect backdrop for this transatlantic meeting of minds, creating space for both Tiwa’s usual Afrobeats sensibilities and Skepta’s hard-hitting UK rap delivery to shine without competing for sonic territory.
In an era where collaborations often feel forced or purely commercial, On The Low feels organic, necessary, and genuinely exciting. It’s the kind of track that reminds you why both artists reached the top of their respective scenes, and why together, they might just conquer new territories entirely.
