Drela Is A Vivid Tapestry Of A New Generation Afrobeats Stars

Drela tapping Durela on the captivating, prestissimo violin-like and bass drum tempo-driven single, "Jekomo," is compelling evidence that he's a skilled generalist. Like Seyi Vibez's, Shaolin and Rema's Kelebu, Jekomo is a party starter that is currently gaining traction across Africa and resonating globally. A skilled vocalist who exhibited laudable stage presence at Trace In The City and Felabration 2025, and prepping for a Ghana media tour in the coming days, Drela is a vivid tapestry of a new generation Afrobeats star. Christened Mohammed Salisu, a native of Jos who embodies the rhythm, melody, and tenacity of icons like Dan Maraya Jos, Jeremiah Gyang, M.I. Abaga, Ice Prince, and Bez, all of whom call J-Town home. With singles like Ice Cream Boy (March 2024), Rain-The 6-song EP (May 2025), Dem Dead ft. Stonebwoy (June 2025), and the latest, Jekomo ft. Durela, Drela, is one of the hardest-working artists in the country. A signee of Cashboy Records, Drela is here to stake a claim as a top star. We all can't wait to see him dominate the global music market.

My First Asake Show

I was at the O2 Arena last week and the energy in that room was something I have never experienced before in my life as a music fan from Lagos. Everyone was singing every word, even the parts I thought were just chorus filler. The man is a generational talent and we need to start treating him like one.
