Joshua Baraka and Mr Eazi link up on a fresh new record called “BeBe,” a cross-border cut worth your attention. The Ugandan singer-songwriter pairs his smooth vocals with the Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweight here.

“BeBe” sits as the sixth track on Joshua Baraka’s seven-track EP “Recess II.” The project also carries other collaborations as he keeps building out his catalogue. So this record fits into an active run rather than arriving on its own.

Baraka has built his name on a blend of Afrobeats and contemporary R&B. Mr Eazi, meanwhile, brings his Banku Music style and a light, unhurried delivery. Both singers sit in the pocket rather than fight for space.

For fans of Afrobeats and Afro-fusion, the pairing carries real weight. East Africa meets West Africa, and melody carries the whole thing. It is one of the cross-border cuts worth queuing up.
