Last year, the artist rolled out a 14-track project where he featured just two artists- Justin Bieber and Tay Iwar. The album, Boy Alone, at the round-up of 2022, was regarded as one of the best albums released in the year’s music space.
According to music critics on the internet, they viewed the debut album as now seated at the helm of successful debut albums dropped by Nigerian artists, this feat done by the likes of Wizkid, Wande Coal, Asake, and others.
Boy Alone has surpassed Wizkid’s “More Love, Less Ego” for a place in the third spot on Spotify’s top 4 albums ranking.
