Afrobeats star Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold (AG Baby), has unveiled his sixth studio project, ‘Fuju’ a vibrant homage to his roots and a daring fusion of tradition with modernity.
The 15-track body of work, a follow-up to 2023’s ‘Tequila Ever After,’ finds AG diving deep into the heart of Fuji music while blending it seamlessly with Afrobeats and Highlife.
With sonic backdrops crafted by ace producers P.Priime and Spax, the album pulls from the bustling streets of Lagos, layering talking drums, agidigbo, and Yoruba folk storytelling into rhythms that feel both nostalgic and futuristic.
‘Fuju‘ thrives on duality—bridging past and present. It celebrates resilience, hustle, love, and cultural pride while weaving in classic interpolations that nod to Nigerian musical heritage.
Yet, Adekunle Gold ensures the work is far from just a throwback: his trademark raspy vocals, heartfelt lyricism, and penchant for experimentation shape every track.
The album also brims with collaborative energy, featuring rising voices like Shoday and industry giants like Davido, who add new textures without overshadowing AG’s central presence.

From pulsating party anthems to soulful reflections on family and ambition, the record unfolds like a carefully plotted journey.
Highlights include the confident opener “Big Fish,” where AG asserts his status with chest-thumping declarations over rolling basslines, and mid-album cuts designed for endless replays with sticky hooks and high-octane energy.
The deeper layers of ‘Fuju‘ explore vulnerability sampling soulful grooves to create uplifting affirmations about enduring love and unshakeable self-belief.
More than just a collection of songs, ‘Fuju‘ plays like a cultural manifesto. It’s a project that honours the richness of Fuji while reintroducing it to a generation raised on Afrobeats’ global wave.
Already touted as a “no-skips” listen, the LP reinforces Adekunle Gold’s reputation as a cultural bridge-builder who reimagines tradition without compromise.
Now streaming worldwide, ‘Fuju‘ is set to soundtrack everything from bustling Lagos bus rides to international festival stages.
With its release, AG Baby doesn’t just return to his roots—he plants a flag for the future of African music.
