Nigerian singer TIA links up with Ruhdee on “W’S,” continuing his active 2026 run. This one follows April’s “Banger” with BhadBoi OML, shifting the spotlight to a different collaborator this time around.
TIA’s built much of his catalogue around Nigerian street-pop and Afrosounds, often working with artists operating in that same lane. Ruhdee fits naturally into that circle, since he’s kept his own steady run of releases going all year. Their pairing here extends both artists’ audiences without overcomplicating the collaboration.
The production stays centered on vocal presence rather than dense arrangement, giving both artists real room to work through their sections. Nothing here feels overcrowded despite two distinct voices sharing the track. A recurring hook ties the whole record together, keeping things cohesive. He sounds fully at ease continuing his 2026 collaborative streak here.
Ruhdee then adds his own section, complementing TIA’s lead without pulling the record in a different direction. Their combined chemistry keeps things focused rather than scattered. Together, they turn “W’S” into a genuine meeting of two active Nigerian voices.
“W’S” works because both artists commit fully to that streamlined, hook-driven energy. The chemistry between them stays consistent throughout. It plays like a genuine addition to TIA’s growing 2026 catalogue.
