Zlatan proves his consistency yet again with his sophomore studio album ‘Resan’
Nigerian indigenous rapper Zlatan drops his long-awaited second album titled “RESAN” a follow-up to his debut studio album titled Zanku.
The new album ‘Resan’ has features from guest artists Davido, Sho Madjozi, Bella Shmurda, Ms. Banks, Buju, etc.
The 12 tracks and 35 minutes of playtime seem to be a more articulated project since its debut as he takes time to create a hit-studded album with a great choice of features.
However, in Zlatan words, he shared on his Instagram page to thank everyone who worked on the project and also made a direct statement to the naysayers.
There were predictions that I won’t be here for long, but God and my fans have proven all naysayers wrong. For this, I’m joyous and grateful.
I’ve burnt the candle at both ends to ensure that our album is top notch. I worked my ass out to please my fans and not let y’all down. It’s been hard but it’s been worth it.
Huge thank you to everyone that worked with me on this album…my team, the featured artists, the producers, sound engineers etc. You guys made it easier for me.
Zlatan has, however, lasted in the industry contrary to the revamp stereotype by naysayers that he won’t last long in the music industry as the trend would quietly be swept by other street hop emerging acts.
Also, linking his career to his preceding street hop major players who have come and gone through the thin air, it is really inspiring to see him still stand fit to date.
