Africa stands on the brink of yet another transformative moment with the release of “META” featuring an extraordinary fusion of talents from Nomcebo Zikode, Fireboy DML and Sofiya Nzau. This 3-step dance track, not only embodies the rich diversity of African music but also has the potential to become a continental and global phenomenon. The new song showcases the innovative spirit of African artists and emphasises their ability to create music that transcends borders.

The collaboration of three distinct voices—Grammy Award-winning Nomcebo Zikode (South Africa)  celebrated for her powerful and emotive performances; Fireboy DML (Nigeria), renowned for his infectious Afrobeat sound; and Sofiya Nzau (Kenya), whose energetic stage presence captivates audiences—demonstrates the potential for African artists to shape the global music landscape.

The release of this single marks the acceptance of 3 Step – a genre that embraces diversity and creativity, blending traditional African rhythms with contemporary influences, creating a sound that is both fresh and deeply rooted in cultural musical heritage. 

Nigeria’s Fireboy DML shares, “As an Afrobeats artist, exploring the 3 Step genre has been an exciting challenge for me. It pushed my boundaries and exposed me to a whole new vibe. Collaborating on this track has really stepped up my artistry.” Kenyan sensation, Sofiya Nzau also expressed, “Working alongside these incredible giants in the African music scene has been an absolute dream. I am so proud of what we have created together!”
