Traditional Fuji intersects with modern Afrobeats on “YASIN,” a 2026 release from Nigerian singer-songwriter Khaid alongside Fuji icon Saheed Osupa, distributed via Neville Records.
Bridging two distinct eras of Nigerian sound, the joint effort sees Khaid venture into sonic territory that marks a clear departure from his previous catalog. Saheed Osupa infuses the record with his celebrated Fuji pedigree, weaving deep-rooted Yoruba musical heritage into the younger artist’s contemporary framework.
Crafted by producer BMH, the instrumentation fuses current street-pop sensibilities with classic Fuji elements. Khaid’s smooth, melodic cadence plays off Osupa’s authoritative, time-honored vocal delivery, establishing a dynamic cross-generational synergy that links modern Afrobeats to an enduring indigenous tradition.

The single further sparked widespread conversation following an unconventional promotional clip starring veteran Nollywood actress Iya Gbonkan, nuns, and other striking visual motifs. Arriving on the heels of his B4R&W EP, “YASIN” underscores Khaid’s creative fearlessness as he builds momentum toward his upcoming debut studio album, Rich & Wacko.
