Khaligraph Jones and Nikita Kering Release Their First Joint Project “EX” under Coke Studio

Kenya’s renowned rapper Khaligraph Jones and multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Nikita Kering’ have today officially released their collabo “Ex”, which is their first joint project under COKE STUDIO.

The two artists that are representing Kenya in Global COKE STUDIO this season are well-known artists, and their music is doing well in all streaming apps. Their collabo “X” is live on YouTube and can be watched on Coke Studio’s channel.

This comes shortly after the two were introduced as COKE STUDIO artists during a colorful event held in uptown Nairobi. The song, a remix of the hit song “Ex”, previously done by Nikita, is a beautiful fusion of Khaligraph’s rap and Nikita’s angelic vocals, providing a new and unique musical experience to fans of the duo.

Coca-Cola’s senior head of marketing in Kenya, Miriam Limo, praised the duo and the already released collaboration from the duo, describing it as a convergence of stories.

“Through this collision, we have witnessed a convergence of stories, styles, and the very soul of Kenyan music. It’s a reminder that our music is diverse, powerful, and unites us all, regardless of our backgrounds.”

This year marks the second season in which COKE STUDI has adopted a global approach, featuring a different format. Under this format, there are no staged live performances, no electronic spins on nostalgic hits, and no weekly episodes presenting a variety of songs.

Instead, Coca-Cola Studio has taken an ‘always-on’ approach with the introduction of CokeStudio.com, a web-based platform by Coca-Cola. The platform provides exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content and new music releases from their partner artists, showcasing a diverse mix of global, regional, and local talent.

Coca-Cola’s Real Magic brand philosophy celebrates the magic of human connection and the belief that differences make the world a richer and more interesting place.

Lastly, COKE STUDIO has established a strong presence in Kenya and has now expanded into a global phenomenon, poised to facilitate even greater consumer engagement.
