Adeleke Tunde, the fast-rising Nigerian singer better known as Ekunrawo, has unveiled his latest single ‘Halima,’ a vibrant collaboration with Tanzanian artiste Juma Jux.
The track, now available on streaming platforms, marks a significant strategic step in Ekunrawo’s mission to expand his musical footprint across Africa.
Produced by P Jay Beat, ‘Halima’ is a masterful fusion of Afrobeats, Bongo Flava, and smooth R&B.
The song creates an irresistible sonic blend, featuring Ekunrawo’s vibrant vocals seamlessly intertwined with Jux’s smooth, Swahili-laced verses. The result is a polished and captivating track engineered for repeated listening.
Speaking on the project, Ekunrawo described ‘Halima’ as more than just a song; it’s a universal love anthem designed to inspire affection in everyone who hears it. He expressed immense excitement about the collaboration, calling it a dream come true.
On his part, Jux praised Ekunrawo’s artistry and the natural chemistry they developed in the studio. He commended Ekunrawo’s “perfect energy,” confirming that ‘Halima’ is “one of those songs that connects instantly with listeners”.
The new release adds another chapter to Ekunrawo’s remarkable personal journey. A graduate in Civil Engineering from the Volgograd State Technical University in Russia, Ekunrawo has overcome immense adversity.
He once revealed a period of hardship where he lived under a bridge in the Ajah area of Lagos before relocating to Russia to study.
“I have been able to turn my life around with dedication and focus. Over the years, I went to the university, earned a degree, got married, built multiple multi-million-dollar businesses, and released several high-profile songs,” he said.
“Do not give up. No matter the phase you’re in, keep pushing. The sky is only the starting point for a determined mind.”
The music video, yet to be released, was shot in Lagos and Dar es Salaam with a feature of vibrant cultural aesthetics from both countries.
