Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is gearing up to release his highly anticipated new single titled "Awuke" on October 31.

Davido announced the release date in an Instagram post on Tuesday, stating, “’Awuke’ with YG Marley drops on October 31st.

"Awuke" marks Davido's first single of the year, following a string of successful projects. He first gained fame in 2012 with his hit song "Dami Duro," part of his debut album "Omo Baba Olowo."

In addition to his musical achievements, Davido is the founder of DMW (Davido Music Worldwide), a record label established in April 2016 that has launched the careers of several notable artists, including Mayorkun, Peruzzi, and Dremo. Earlier this year, he rebranded the label as DMW 2.0 and introduced two new artists.

With numerous awards and accolades to his name, Davido continues to be recognized as one of Africa's leading musical talents. Fans eagerly await the release of "Awuke" and the fresh sounds it promises to deliver.
