Larry Gaaga & Peruzzi Drop ‘GAGA’ — Duktor Sett-Produced Party Starter From the Off White x GAGA Two-Pack Out Now

In Lagos, some names are just names. Others are a whole lifestyle. When a man’s surname already sounds like a dance move, a celebration and a warning to the DJ all at once, it was only a matter of time before he turned it into a song title. Larry Gaaga has finally done it, and he did not come alone. He brought Peruzzi, the voice that has been sneaking hooks into Naija’s biggest records for close to a decade, and the two have dropped a song called simply “GAGA”. Self-promotion? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

Nigerian music executive and hitmaker Larry Gaaga and singer-songwriter Peruzzi released “GAGA” on Friday, 23 October 2026 through Gaaga Muzik and Ziiki Media, with distribution by Virgin Music Group. It is one half of a two-track pack titled Off White x GAGA, and while its sister track “OFF WHITE” plays the cool, mid-tempo older brother, “GAGA” is the one that kicks off its shoes and heads straight for the dance floor. Production comes from Duktor Sett, with mastering by Irockclassic.

⚡ The Drop in 30 Seconds

“GAGA” is a short, high-energy Afrobeats record that runs just over two minutes and wastes none of them. Duktor Sett builds the bounce, Peruzzi carries the melodies and the hook, and Larry Gaaga does what he has always done best: assemble the right people and let the chemistry cook. Both men are credited as writers, Larry Ndianefo and Tobechukwu Okoh on the paperwork. The song arrives paired with “OFF WHITE”, a smoother IrokClassic production, and the two-pack is streaming now on Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Deezer and YouTube Music.

The Vibe: Two Minutes, Fifteen Seconds of Pure Shuffle

There is something cheeky about a song this short in an era when some artists stretch a single idea past four minutes. “GAGA” clocks in at 2:15, which in party terms is exactly one round of jollof, one selfie and one “DJ, run am back!” Duktor Sett keeps the drums lively and the groove tight, the kind of bounce that makes even the uncle holding a bottle of malt at the back of the hall start nodding against his will. It is built for movement, not meditation.

Peruzzi is the engine room here. Over the years he has proved he can slide into any pocket, from love songs to street anthems, and on “GAGA” he leans into the playful side of his voice, riding the rhythm with the relaxed confidence that made him one of DMW’s most dependable voices. Larry Gaaga, as usual, plays the conductor. His records have never been about one man shouting the loudest. They are about the right blend, the right features, the right energy, and here the formula is simple: one producer, one voice, one name everybody can chant.

The title itself is a wink. Long before this song, Larry Gaaga’s name was already stamped on Nigerian pop history through 2Baba’s 2017 hit “Gaga Shuffle”, a track named after one of his signature dance moves. Calling a 2026 party record “GAGA” feels like a man returning to his own dance floor nine years later and announcing, “I never left.” Abeg, who are we to argue?

Off White x GAGA: A Cross, A Tattoo and Two Moods

The cover art is far moodier than the song, and that contrast is half the fun. Shot in stark black and white, it shows a shirtless man kneeling with his back to the camera, a huge winged cross tattoo spread across his shoulders with the words “Peace, Love, Strength”, facing a weathered wooden cross nailed to a cracked, peeling wall. Bold white letters spell out “OFF WHITE” on one side of the cross and “GAGA” on the other, with Larry Gaaga and Peruzzi’s names running along the bottom. It feels like a quiet prayer before a loud night out, which, if we are honest, is how plenty of Lagos and Accra weekends actually begin.

That split personality runs through the whole pack. “OFF WHITE”, produced and mastered by IrokClassic, is the suave, slower record for the drive home. “GAGA” is the one for the party itself. Two songs, two moods, same duo, and no long album rollout to sit through. In 2026, that is how you keep listeners hungry.

Who Is Larry Gaaga?

Larry Gaaga, born Larry Ndianefo, is one of the most connected men in Nigerian music, a songwriter, recording artist, producer and record executive who has spent more than a decade bringing big names into the same room. He started out in 2012 as General Manager of YSG Entertainment, managing rapper Vector, before 2Baba’s “Gaga Shuffle” turned his name into a nationwide dance. From there he built a catalogue that reads like a who’s who of African pop: “Low” with Wizkid, “Doe” with Davido, “Baba Nla” with 2Baba, Burna Boy and D’banj, “Wonderful” with Wande Coal and Sarkodie, and the Igbo heritage anthem “Egedege” with Flavour, Phyno and Theresa Onuorah. He served as Vice President of Def Jam Africa and later took the role of VP and General Manager of Gamma in Africa, all while running his own label, Gaaga Muzik.

Ghana knows him well too. His “Letter From Overseas” with Black Sherif became a fan favourite on both sides of the border, and this year alone we have covered him linking Efya and Nonso Amadi on ‘Luvin’ and rounding up Olamide, Mavo and Kidd Carder on ‘Come On’. The man does not rest. “GAGA” simply confirms that his 2026 run is still going strong.

Who Is Peruzzi?

Peruzzi, born Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, is the Nigerian singer and songwriter whose pen has quietly powered a long list of hits. He started singing as a child, began his professional career with Golden Boy Records in 2016 and signed to Davido’s DMW imprint in 2017. Early on, he was the voice behind DMW posse cuts like “Mind” and “Aje”, then broke out on his own with 2018’s “Majesty” from the Heartwork EP. He also shone on 2Baba’s “Amaka”, and later delivered “Southy Love” with Fireboy DML, “Somebody Baby” with Davido and the albums Huncho Vibez and Rum & Boogie. His songwriting is still in demand at the very top: he picked up writing credits on Davido’s 2026 album Oriadé, the project behind the three-night Oriadé residency booked for Lagos in December.

Peruzzi and Larry Gaaga are not strangers. They first linked on “Pause” from Gaaga’s 2020 project and stood side by side on Slimcase’s rowdy “Azaman” with 2Baba and DJ Neptune. “GAGA” is a reunion between two men who already know each other’s rhythm.

Why “GAGA” Matters Now

The end of the year is when Naija and Ghana DJs start stockpiling ammunition. Detty December is around the corner, wedding receptions are booking up, and every playlist needs short, punchy records that can carry a crowd from one transition to the next. “GAGA” is tailor-made for that job. It is quick, upbeat and easy to chant, and it comes from two names that older listeners respect and younger listeners recognise.

It also says something about how veterans are adapting. Instead of a long album campaign, Larry Gaaga and Peruzzi dropped a tight two-pack that gives fans a choice of mood and keeps the conversation going. For Peruzzi, it is another reminder that he remains one of the most dependable voices in Afrobeats. For Larry Gaaga, it is the latest chapter in a career built on bringing people together, and this time he put his own name in lights. If you hear a crowd shouting “Gaga!” at a party this December, now you know who to blame.
