Afrobeats has always known how to party. But every now and then, the culture pauses to pray. That is exactly what happens on Prayer Request II, the powerful new collaboration from Victor AD, Patoranking and Jamaican dancehall star Jahmiel.

Six years after the original Prayer Request became a quiet anthem for dreamers and grinders, Victor AD revisits the record with a sequel that feels bigger, louder and more global. The track reunites him with Patoranking while introducing Jahmiel into the mix, creating a three way bridge between Nigeria and Jamaica that blends Afrobeats, reggae and dancehall into one hopeful soundtrack.
At its core, the record is simple. It is a prayer disguised as a playlist addition. Victor AD delivers his familiar street sermon, the same emotional storytelling that made “Wetin We Gain” resonate with everyday Nigerians. Patoranking slides in with gritty confidence, while Jahmiel’s patois adds Caribbean seasoning that lifts the song beyond borders.
Production duties fall to Osho Beatz, who builds a steady, mid tempo instrumental layered with bright horns and marching percussion. The result is both reflective and groovy, the kind of beat that works equally well in church halls and late night car rides.
What makes Prayer Request II land is its message. In an era where Afrobeats is often obsessed with champagne problems, this record remembers the real ones. The fear of going home broke. The pressure to succeed. The belief that faith and hustle must work together.
Call it spiritual Afrobeats. Call it motivational music. Either way, Victor AD just turned a prayer into a cross continental anthem.
