Tiakola keeps pushing his sound forward, and his new Rema-assisted single “BEST” arrives as the latest step in that run.
The track lands on Tiakola’s upcoming sophomore album, “WpointM,” and hits streaming at midnight on Friday, September 25, 2026. Details on who handled the boards for “BEST” are not out yet. Still, the French star gave fans a clue beforehand.
He appeared to hint at the song inside the music video for his recent track “Upa Solide.” That subtle teaser was enough to get people talking online. Tiakola, born William Mundala, has flown the flag for French music abroad for a while now. His catalogue includes records like “Melo” and “Mode AV” with Niska and Gazo.
Rema, meanwhile, has spent years building a name far beyond Nigeria. So this pairing fits the cross-border pattern linking Afrobeats and French rap. On delivery, the contrast matters most. Tiakola’s low, unhurried phrasing sits against Rema’s brighter, more melodic runs, and that gap gives the record its pull.
