Trigga Trey cannot get enough of Africa. He’s been to Nigeria and South Africa more times than we can count, and now he’s making his way to East Africa for the season finale of Coke Studio Africa.

The announcement was made on Wednesday and it was revealed that the singer will be teaming up with some of the biggest acts on the continent as Coke Studio wraps up its fourth season with another American guest (last season they brought Ne-Yo).

He’s going to be working with the likes of: Nyashinski (Kenya). Yemi Alade (Nigeria), Vanessa Mdee (Tanzania), Rema (Uganda), Neyma (Mozambique), Serge Beynaud (French West Africa), Lij Michael (Ethiopia), Stonebwoy (Ghana), and Emtee (South Africa).

As well as this, DJ Maphorisa is going to be producing the track. Maphorisa was asked about the opportunity and he shared nothing but excitement when he said:

“I have had the opportunity to work with many great artists from all over the world and am very excited to be collaborating with such a talented artist. I believe that we will be making something truly special together and am happy that we are able to share our amazing African sounds with the world in this way”

Confirming the news to BlaqsheepMMG, Blakk Cedi, road manager for the BET Award winner Stonebwoy said: “You are too fast. It’s true and we are leaving Ghana for the recording session on Monday”

We can’t wait to hear how this comes out!
