Nigerian Afro-dancehall legend Timaya has reunited with Niger Delta music icon Duncan Mighty on a warm new single titled “Kontrol,” produced by Spotless and released on July 10, 2026, via ONErpm.
Two South-South stars. One record. That context alone makes “Kontrol” feel different from a standard collaboration. Timaya and Duncan Mighty share a cultural background that runs deeper than just geography — both artists carry the rhythms and flavours of the Niger Delta in everything they make, and “Kontrol” leans fully into that shared identity.
He chose Duncan Mighty for his comeback record rather than chasing a younger feature or a trending sound. That decision says something about the kind of statement he wanted to make.
Duncan Mighty brings exactly what fans expect from him – that unmistakable soulful texture and warm melodic style that no other voice in Nigerian music quite replicates. Together, the two move comfortably across Afrobeats, Afro-dancehall, and Highlife-inspired production without the record ever feeling pulled in too many directions.
“Kontrol” is built for celebrations, dance floors, and the kind of moments that need a soundtrack with genuine feeling behind it.
