The singer’s last recent album, I Told Them… was a statement of intent, one that redefined the boundaries of Afrobeats. It demonstrated the artist’s continuing evolution, blending elements of Afrobeats, hip-hop and R&B to produce a genre which he dubs Afrofusion. The album was a commercial success, spawning hits like “City Boy,” “On Form” and “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” featuring 21 Savage.

Since its release, Burna Boy has been working, selling out tours, engaging in high-profile collaborations, committing himself, inarguably, to fully excelling as one of the most influential artists of his generation.

As the countdown to the album’s release begins, social media is ablaze with theories, predictions, and discussions about what the music icon has in store.
