Afrobeats Hitmaker Skales Joins Forces with TyStringz for High-Energy Anthem “Pepper Body”

Afrobeats hitmaker Skales is back with fresh heat, and this time he is not alone. The Nigerian star teams up with rising Nigerian-American talent TyStringz on a vibrant new single titled “Pepper Body.” Scheduled for release on 13 February 2026, the track is already generating excitement across Afrobeats circles. Moreover, it promises a dancefloor-ready sound built for global audiences.

Afrobeats Hitmaker Skales and the Sound of “Pepper Body”

“Pepper Body” is crafted as a high-energy Afrobeat anthem. It blends Pidgin English, English, and Spanish, creating a sound that feels both familiar and international. In addition, the song is driven by a catchy hook that has reportedly tested well in East African club sets.

The collaboration brings together the soulful Afro-fusion style of TyStringz and the polished, synth-led pop energy that Skales is known for. As a result, the record feels bold, colourful, and ready for heavy rotation.

Who Is TyStringz?

TyStringz is a multi-instrumentalist with a unique background. He is classically trained and also works as a software engineer. Furthermore, he has performed on major international stages, including SXSW.

His sound blends Afro-fusion, soul, and global pop influences. Therefore, pairing him with Skales feels like a natural bridge between the new wave and established Afrobeats stardom.

Afrobeats Hitmaker Skales and a Career Renaissance

The release of “Pepper Body” follows a major resurgence for Afrobeats hitmaker Skales throughout 2025. His 2014 classic Shake Body enjoyed a huge global revival. This came after FC Barcelona footballer Lamine Yamal featured the song in a viral clip. Shortly after, the track appeared in a global Adidas advertising campaign.

As a result, Skales reached new milestones:

• Streaming growth: Over two million monthly listeners on Spotify by April 2025.
• Global exposure: A live performance at a Copa del Rey victory party in Barcelona.
• New releases: A tribute song, D.L.L.Y (Dance Like Lamine Yamal), and the studio album Martina’s Son, dedicated to his late mother.

Legacy and Impact in Afrobeats

Born Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, Skales has been active in the Nigerian music scene since signing with Empire Mates Entertainment in 2009. Over the years, he has delivered memorable hits such as Mukulu and Take Care of Me. Because of this, he is widely respected for his versatility and longevity.

With “Pepper Body,” Afrobeats hitmaker Skales once again proves his ability to evolve. He successfully connects established stardom with the new generation of Afro-fusion artists.

Why “Pepper Body” Matters

“Pepper Body” is more than a collaboration. Instead, it reflects the global direction of Afrobeats today. By combining diverse languages, cultures, and sounds, Skales and TyStringz deliver a record built for clubs, playlists, and international stages.
