Shallipopi Announces 22-Track Star-Studded Album ‘AURACLE’ Featuring Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rauw Alejandro
Shallipopi is stepping boldly into a new era. The street-pop maverick has finally unveiled the official tracklist for his third studio album, AURACLE, a project many fans believe may become the defining chapter of his fast-growing career.
Set for release on December 5, 2025, AURACLE arrives with a sprawling 22-track lineup, easily the most ambitious body of work in his catalogue. And he didn’t come alone.
The album draws an impressive constellation of stars: Wizkid, Burna Boy, Swae Lee, Ruger, Young Jonn, Pa Salieu, Keblack, and global star Rauw Alejandro, who appears on one of the three versions of “Laho.”
Those familiar with Shallipopi’s discography know he usually favors short, sharp, street-leaning projects. But this time, he’s clearly pushing himself further. Not only does AURACLE include previously released singles like “Laho,” “Laho II” featuring Burna Boy, “Laho III” featuring Rauw Alejandro, the crowd-chanting “Na So,” and the Gunna-assisted “HIM,” it also hints at a deeper, more exploratory soundscape.

Shallipopi himself offered a quiet nod to this shift. In a heartfelt message to his “Plutomanias,” he thanked God, appreciated the fans who have carried him this far, and shared the pre-save link instantly sending excitement surging through his community.
But the title AURACLE says even more. It suggests something spiritual. Something inward. Something different from the playful, mischievous “Afro-Pluto” energy that made him a household name. It signals an artist turning a corner, searching for new textures and new truths.
Fans and critics are watching closely. Will this be the album that stretches Shallipopi’s artistry? Will it reveal deeper themes, richer sound design, and a more intentional creative direction?
From all indications, yes.
After taking his time to craft this album far more than his usual quick-fire pace expectations are sky-high. Many believe AURACLE might be the project that cements him not just as a moment, but as a mainstay in African music.
If December 2025 delivers what it promises, Shallipopi may be stepping into the biggest chapter of his career yet.
