Nigerian artist and music executive Donny Crown links up with Skales on an uptempo Afrobeats record called “Gimme Life,” released June 26 through MEDE.
Skales has been busy in 2026, showing up on multiple records this year, but “Gimme Life” is one where his melodic touch actually shapes the direction of the song rather than just adding a verse. Donny Crown holds the lead well, delivering with a confidence that sits between celebration and raw emotion throughout the record.
Produced by Iniobong Adobafo, the song leans into romance and feel-good energy without getting too heavy. The uptempo rhythm keeps things moving, and the arrangement gives both artists space to breathe without crowding each other.
“Gimme Life” currently sits at number three on Xclusiveloaded’s trending chart, just behind Donny Crown’s own “God Abeg” at number one and Loud Urban Choir’s “Back Outside” at number two. Having two records sitting high on the same chart simultaneously is a strong opening statement for someone just introducing themselves to a wider audience.
