Grammy-linked Nigerian producer and Zanku sound creator Rexxie returns with a loaded new single titled “ASA” featuring Sonia, O6a, and Ajuvibez.
Few producers in the Nigerian music industry carry the kind of resume Rexxie has built over the past seven years. The man practically created a whole dance movement with the Zanku sound. He produced “Soapy” and “Tesumole” for Naira Marley when both tracks dominated every street corner in Lagos. He gave MohBad the foundation for “KPK,” a song that crossed every boundary. And he contributed two tracks to Burna Boy’s Grammy-winning Twice As Tall album. So when Rexxie puts his tag on a new record, the expectation is already set before the first note plays.
What ASA Brings to the Table
The title “ASA” carries weight in Yoruba – it speaks to culture, tradition, and identity. With Rexxie behind the boards, that cultural connection makes sense. His production style has always been rooted in the sounds of the street, reflecting the daily life of a Nigerian. Nothing about his beats feels imported or borrowed. They come from the same soil his audience walks on. And “ASA” appears to continue in that direction, blending infectious rhythms with a grounded, homegrown feel.
Three Voices, One Record
Sonia, O6a, and Ajuvibez may not carry the mainstream name recognition of some of Rexxie’s previous collaborators like Zlatan, Teni, or Naira Marley. But that’s not necessarily a disadvantage. Rexxie has always had an ear for spotting artists who fit a particular sound. He doesn’t just pick names for clout. He picks voices that serve the record. The fact that he chose these three for “ASA” suggests they bring something specific that the song needed. And on a producer-led single, that kind of selection matters more than star power.
Rexxie’s Quiet Dominance
What often gets overlooked about Rexxie is how much of the music people love was built on his production without him getting the spotlight. Producers in Nigeria rarely receive the recognition they deserve. But Rexxie has managed to carve out his own identity beyond just being the name in the credits. His “Crossover 2026 Party Mix” earlier this year reminded fans of his DJ skills, while “ASA” brings back the original music side of his craft.
“ASA” is already trending alongside major releases from Davido, Falz, and Wande Coal today. Go stream it now across all platforms and give the producer his credit.
