Kizz Daniel Taps Angelique Kidjo and Johnny Drille For “Police”

Serving as the lead single from his highly anticipated Uncle K album, Police is a cheeky yet infectious tale of romantic infatuation — a man so captivated by love he jokes about “calling the police” over his partner’s irresistible allure. Originally conceived with Johnny Drille and later elevated by Kidjo’s pan-African presence, the track effortlessly fuses afrobeats, soul, and playful lyricism. The production, helmed by MOG Beatz, Blaise Beatz (Chris Brown, Wizkid, Davido), and Johnny Drille himself, is a vibrant showcase of cross-cultural synergy and sonic excellence.

The result is a joyous celebration of love, humour, and artistic collaboration across generations. Kizz Daniel delivers sharp storytelling and signature swagger, while Drille provides rich harmonies and emotional depth. Kidjo, ever the global force, injects timeless flair — even sampling her 1994 classic Agolo in the chorus. The song is light-hearted yet deeply resonant, rooted in cultural pride and pan-African connectivity.

Police not only reaffirms Kizz Daniel’s status as a masterful storyteller within afrobeats, but also hints at the ambitious sonic palette of Uncle K — his most globally minded project to date. It’s an uplifting, forward-facing release that feels at once classic and contemporary — the sound of an icon evolving.

As Kizz Daniel steps into 2025, he does so with renewed creative energy and an enduring legacy. Celebrating a decade at the forefront of afrobeats, 2024 was a milestone year: from chart-topping success with Twe Twe (featuring Davido) and standout hits like Showa, Marhaba, and the introspective Pano Tano (with Adekunle Gold), to a globally acclaimed Vado at 10 tour. He capped it off with the TZA EP, which topped charts and amassed over half a billion streams worldwide — a powerful reminder of his consistency, innovation, and cultural impact.

With Police, Kizz Daniel sets the tone for a new chapter: global in ambition, deeply rooted in culture, and unmistakably Kizz.
