Watch King Promise and Wizkid's New Music Video for 'Tokyo'

This highly-anticipated collab brings a track you'll have on repeat.

King Promise is the Ghanaian crooner who should be on your radar.

Leading up to his debut album, the rising afropop star behind "Selfish," "CCTV" and "Abena" has dropped "Tokyo"—a new track in collaboration with none other than Wizkid, Konbini reports.

The catchy track, produced by Killbeatz, is another formulaic banger in which Wizkid and King Promise sing sweet nothings, promising the jet-setting life to their leading lady.

The music video itself is one big party—with a surprise cameo from Ghanaian dynamic duo R2Bees.

Watch the music video for "Tokyo," directed by Awudu Musa, below.
