Afrobeats heavyweight Davido reunites with his former DMW signee Mayorkun and rising star FOLA on “B4 B4,” the seventh track off his sixth studio album “ORIADÉ.”
The reunion angle is the first thing fans latched onto. When Mayorkun posted the promotional shot with the caption “New Music! This Friday! B4 B4 #Oriade,” Davido replied with two words – “WE BACK.” That exchange alone moved timelines before anyone heard a single second of the song. So the chemistry between these two does not need explanation. The fanbase already knows what this pairing can do.
But FOLA is the wildcard here. While Davido and Mayorkun carry the name recognition, FOLA’s inclusion adds a fresh generational dimension that stops “B4 B4” from feeling like a nostalgia play. Three artists from different chapters of the Afrobeats story sharing a record is exactly the kind of move that can turn a tracklist standout into a crossover moment.
What also gives this collaboration weight is the context around “ORIADÉ” itself. Davido recorded most of the album at home with his wife and kids – a deliberately personal and subdued creative approach. So the warmth running through the project is intentional. “B4 B4” sits as track seven on a 13-song body of work built around themes of purpose, identity, and legacy. That placement is not random. It lands in the heart of the album where the emotional stakes are highest.
One fan in the comments put it simply – “Can’t wait for track 7.” That’s the kind of quiet anticipation that builds real streams on release day.
