Jeriq keeps his foot on the gas with “Different Wave,” a new record that pairs him with Tuff King.
The song arrived on September 16, 2026, following weeks of teasers and snippets that built real anticipation online. It lands as a hard-hitting collaboration, and it is built for listeners who like their rap with weight behind it.
No production credit has surfaced yet. Still, the beat does plenty of talking on its own. It carries a heavy, confident bounce that matches the title, while Jeriq and Tuff King trade bars without either one fading into the background.
Jeriq, born Jeremiah Chukwuebuka Ani, is an Igbo rapper from Enugu. He is widely credited as a pioneer of Igbo drill, and his run this year has been relentless. King, his sophomore album, dropped in August 2024. He also delivered the Ev!l Twin EP with PsychoYP, plus singles like “Ije Nwoke” and “Jehovah.”
Tuff King brings a different texture to the record. That shift suits a guest verse well, because the track never sits in one mood too long.
