Darkoo releases new single and video, ‘Disturbing U’, featuring Ayra Starr: Watch

Darkoo has released a new single and video, ‘Disturbing U’, which features Ayra Starr.

The track was produced by Grammy winner DËRA (Bad Bunny, Jack Harlow, Oxlade, Major Lazer, Teni, Diplo) and pairs the Nigeria-born UK rapper Darkoo with Beninese-born Nigerian singer Ayra Starr for a summer-ready Afrobeats tune. Watch the video for 'Disturbing U' below.

Back in 2020, Darkoo released her breakthrough track 'Gangsta', featuring One Acen, which went to No. 22 in the UK charts and topped the UK Afrobeats Chart of that year. Her track 'Always feat. Black Sherif' was nominated in the Best Rap Track category at DJ Mag's Best of British Awards in 2022.  Ayra Starr rose to fame in 2022 with 'Rush'.

A book charting the rise of Afrobeats was published last year by Jacaranda Books. A Quick Ting On: Afrobeats was written by journalist, cultural curator, and author Christian Adofo, and is billed as the first chronicle of the genre, taking a deep dive into the social and cultural development of, and influences informing, the music.
