This is a first time collaboration and we are going to need more from this trio.

Sarz is one of the most popular and well-respected Afro-beat producers in the genre. More than ever before, African music is all over the charts and the radio. Multiple artists from the respective subsets are having a breakout 2023. Rema, Tyla, Burna Boy, and many others are exploding onto the scene.

It has been the perfect time for these names to pop off, especially, with hip-hop having a down year by its standards. Sarz has been in the industry for a minute now, but it is good to see him have a big moment this year. Many casual listeners will know the beat he made for Drake, Wizkid, and Kyla's smash 2016 hit, "One Dance." But, he is much more than that.

Listen To "Happiness" By Sarz, Asake, And Gunna

The Nigerian talent is getting ready for a new album to drop sometime next year, according to Billboard. The first single, "Yo Fam!," with Crayon and Skrillex dropped back in early September. Now, Sarz is back for round two. This time, he brings on Gunna and fellow Afro-pop artist Asake for "Happiness." The theme around this one is about making the special person in your life happy by whatever means necessary. It is a great crossover for each artist involved, and hopefully, heading into next year, we get more of these efforts.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, "Happiness," by Sarz, Asake, and Gunna? Is this Gunna's best genre-crossover appearance, why or why not? Is this one of the best Afro-pop tracks of the year? Whose appearance made the track for you? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Quotable Lyrics:

I miss you, I need you bad, baby come home
You want me to make it happen baby I know
You want me to keep you happy, baby I know
Penthouse, condo
Got no one, amapiano
You want me to make it happen baby I know
