Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Pheelz teams up with Rii and Young Jonn for “GONGO ASO (Live),” a live rendition that brings their Afrobeats collaboration into a more performance-focused setting.
The song is part of A Rii Set (Live) and continues the creative connection between Pheelz and Rii. Young Jonn returns for the live version, giving the record an additional vocal presence and turning it into a lively exchange between two of Nigeria’s prominent producer-turned-artists.
Pheelz and Young Jonn Reunite on “GONGO ASO”
“GONGO ASO (Live)” is driven by themes of attraction, affection and romantic pursuit. Pheelz and Young Jonn trade lines about wanting a woman’s attention, while playful Nigerian expressions and Yoruba phrases give the song a familiar local character.
The collaboration is particularly interesting because both Pheelz and Young Jonn have established themselves not only as singers but also as highly regarded music producers. Their shared background gives the record a natural creative connection, while their vocal approaches keep the performance lively.
The original “GONGO ASO” was already presented as a meeting point between Nigerian music nostalgia and contemporary Afrobeats. The live version carries that idea forward through a more performance-oriented arrangement.
Rii Adds to the Live Experience
Rii remains central to the concept behind A Rii Set (Live), a project that reworks songs from Pheelz and Rii’s creative partnership into live performances.
“GONGO ASO (Live)” sits alongside other performances featuring artists such as Didi B, Flavour and Tiwa Savage. The project gives Pheelz an opportunity to explore his music outside the conventional studio format while highlighting his ability to move between production and performance.
A Blend of Nostalgia and Modern Afrobeats
One of the song’s interesting qualities is its connection to the phrase “Gongo Aso,” a title strongly associated with Nigerian pop culture. The original collaboration uses that familiar reference while placing it inside a contemporary Afrobeats setting.
The live rendition keeps that balance intact, combining recognizable Nigerian expressions with modern production and melodic performances.
