Rema, Young Jonn, Asake, Blue Disco: What to Expect

Rema, Young Jonn, Asake, Blue Disco: What to Expect

Author: ISRAEL OLUWAFEMI MAKANJUOLA November 28, 2025 Duration: 4:29

In this episode, we break down Young Jonn’s highly anticipated album Blue Disco and dive into the impact of having Rema and Asake featured on key tracks like Lalala. We explore how the album blends emotion, introspection, and dance-ready Afrobeats energy, its potential streaming performance, and what this collaboration signals for Young Jonn’s rise as a front-line Afrobeats artist. From first impressions to chart predictions and listener reception, this episode gives a full, insider look at one of the year’s most talked-about releases.


The Artiste Hangout is the go-to destination for music insights, artist breakdowns, and exclusive Afrobeats discussions. With over 100,000 streams on Audiomack, thousands more across major platforms, top charting in the Bahamas for over a week, and availability in more than 110 countries, we bring listeners closer to the stories behind the music and the artists shaping the Afrobeats sound today.


At Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, the conversation starts where the music ends. Hosted by music journalist Femi Makx, this isn't a typical interview show; it's a deep, meandering exploration of how the sounds we love are forged. Each episode is built on the premise that a song is never just a song-it's a product of identity, a response to power structures, a spark of creativity shaped by its time. You'll hear long-form, in-depth conversations that deliberately wander, connecting artistic choices to the wider currents of youth culture and social change. The podcast operates from a simple, powerful idea: to examine music not as a passive soundtrack, but as an active, living commentary. This means peeling back the layers of a hit record to find the personal and political stories underneath, or understanding how a specific creative scene reflects broader shifts in society. The analysis is thoughtful and the atmosphere is more like a candid backstage chat than a formal Q&A. It’s for anyone who listens to a track and wonders about the world that made it, who sees the artist as a citizen and their work as a cultural artifact. Tune in for a perspective that treats the creative landscape with the seriousness it deserves, making each episode a hangout that challenges how you hear everything.
