Afrofusion Meets Street Lamba as Drela and Durella Deliver Jekomo, a Track Designed to Move Speakers and Spirits.
CashBoy Records proudly presents “Jekomo”, the explosive collaboration between Drela (real name, Mohammed Salisu), the soulful Afrofusion storyteller and Nigeria’s “King of the Streets,” Durella.
Drawn from the Yoruba phrase ‘Jẹ́kó mọ́’ meaning ‘let them know’, a bold declaration of confidence and presence, “Jekomo” captures the essence of joy, unity and resilience. With its vibrant blend of Afrobeats, Dancehall, R&B, and street Lamba, the track is built to move both speakers and spirits across Africa and beyond.
A rising force in Afrofusion, Drela blends melody, coded street lingo and social storytelling into his music, crafting sounds that speak to both hustle and celebration. His journey, from Plateau to Abuja and Lagos, has shaped him into an artist who mirrors life’s struggles and joys through sound. Fresh off his acclaimed collaboration with Ghanaian superstar Stonebwoy on “Dem Dead”, Drela steps forward with “Jekomo,” an anthem that unites heart and hustle.
STREAM “JEKOMO” BY DRELA X DURELLA
Speaking on the release, Drela shared: “Jekomo is Afro with that street bounce, a song about joy, connection, living fully in the moment and never letting struggles weigh you down. Linking up with Durella in the studio was pure energy and we wanted to make something the streets and the world can feel.”
Durella, known for his raw edge and street credibility, added: “The moment Drela played the beat, I knew it was heavy. He brought soul, I brought Lamba and together we made food for the streets. Jekomo is music for the block, the clubs and anyone chasing daily bread.
With its infectious hook, coded street lingo and zanga-to-zanga vibe, “Jekomo” is built to dominate parties, playlists and street corners across Africa and beyond.
The release highlights CashBoy Records’ commitment to push authentic street-rooted talent onto bigger stages, while giving new voices like Drela the platform to shape the sound of modern Afrobeats.
“Jekomo” is out now on all streaming platforms.
