Lagos-based Afrosounds singer Ema Onigah upgrades one of her strongest 2026 records by pulling in Babyboy AV on the “With You (Remix).”
The original “With You” already built real traction under gamma. Africa – 159,000 total Audiomack plays, 888 likes, and 885 playlist adds show this is not a record that needed saving. So bringing Babyboy AV into the picture is not damage control. It is a strategic expansion – giving an already-working song a second wave of audience reach through a featured voice with his own dedicated following.
Babyboy AV is a smart fit here. His Afro-fusion and dancehall blend sits naturally alongside Ema Onigah’s warm Afrosounds delivery without pulling the record off its emotional axis. The “Big Thug Boys” era gave him a proven ability to ride melodic records with real personality – and on “With You (Remix),” he brings that same quality without overshadowing the lead artist.
Ema Onigah’s original vocal performance was the record’s foundation – warm, vulnerable, and confident in equal measure. The remix preserves that quality while giving the arrangement a new dimension through the collaboration. Because the best remixes keep what made the original connect while adding something genuinely useful. This one does both.
Her 2026 output across the ITEM VII project, “Ave Maria,” “Show Me,” and “DEY SO” with Ozedikus shows a consistent artistic identity. The “With You (Remix)” builds on that foundation rather than departing from it.
