Nigerian Afro-fusion musician Mayour adds “Ikebe O’clock” to his discography, a 2026 duet with street-pop vocalist Smur Lee.
The record was a collaborative effort between the two artists and was written to celebrate the beauty, confidence, and cultural identity of African women. Mayour tackles the melodic side of the duet while Smur Lee adds the street-influenced delivery that we have come to know from her recent albums.
The percussion-heavy Afro-fusion composition maintains a lively beat, creating the kind of energy that suits parties and dance-centric playlists. The arrangement also benefits from the contrast between Mayour’s softer vocals and Smur Lee’s punchier parts, which help keep the music moving.
For Mayour, the cooperation is a useful step on from earlier records like “No Small”. Smur Lee’s rising profile in Nigerian street-pop also means the release can reach a wider audience and has more potential to expand beyond his current fanbase.
“Ikebe O’clock” is accessible on all major digital streaming providers. Give the collab a listen and let us know in the comments how both musicians did on the record.
