Ozedikus, the Midas-touch producer who turned Rema’s “Dumebi” into a global ear-worm, has stepped from behind the console to the front of the mic, joining fast-rising Ghanaian vocalist Kojo Blak on a brand-new single titled “Chances”.
Clocking in at three minutes, the track is a love letter set to drums. Over a breezy guitar loop and bass line, the duo swap English, Pidgin and Twi, pledging to risk it all on a romance that feels written in the stars.
“Girl I take my chances with you baby,” the hook declares, simple, urgent and impossible not to repeat after first listen.
Enter Kojo Blak, the Tema-bred singer whose 2022 street freestyle “Sika” made him a TikTok favourite in West Africa. His velvet Twi runs on the second verse (“Follow ma pattern, odo, sticky with me”) add Ghanaian high-life gloss to Ozedikus’ Lagos bounce, underscoring the new wave of border-blurring collaborations redefining Afrobeats in 2025.
Early Shazam spikes suggest “Chances” could replicate the cross-platform magic of “Dumebi”; the single landed on Apple Music’s Africa Now and Spotify’s African Heat playlists within hours of release.
Stream “Chances” now and watch two countries bet their hearts on one irresistible groove.
