Independent artiste GTS 40k and rapper Dremo are set to release a new collaborative single titled Backshot on May 1, 2026.
The forthcoming track marks a reunion between both artists, who previously worked together on street-pop records such as Kiss & Tell and Juju. Their earlier collaborations gained traction within the urban music scene, positioning them as a notable duo within Nigeria’s evolving street-pop sound.
Backshot, according to the artistes, continues their established synergy, blending GTS 40k’s street-influenced rap style with Dremo’s lyrical delivery. The song is produced by Duke Blaq, a frequent collaborator, whose sound has featured in several of GTS 40k’s recent releases.
Speaking on the collaboration, GTS 40k said: “Working with Dremo is always natural. We speak the same language musically. ‘Backshot’ isn’t just a song; it’s the energy the fans have been asking for since we dropped Kiss & Tell.”
The song follows their 2024 joint project, Never Back Down, Vol. 1, which produced tracks that resonated among fans of street-oriented Afrobeats and hip-hop. Backshot will be released across major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack, with pre-save links expected to go live on April 17, 2026.
