Burna Boy hinted that with the release of the remix of Sittin On Top Of The World with 21 Savage, he would release his next album under a new record label called Seven Records.
The record-breaker, who recently became the first African musician to ever sell out Citifield stadium, hasn’t said when his new album would be released, but fans are intrigued by the prospect of what to expect from the project as it looks like it will take an unusual strategy.

Meantime, Swizz Beatz, discussed how he introduced Wizkid and Burna Boy to America.
In a recent podcast ’roundtable’ on Amazon Prime, legendary producer Swizz Beatz revealed how he and his wife Alicia Keys were the first to bring two of the greatest Afrobeats singers, Big Wiz and African Giant, to America.
According to the renowned DJ, they introduced American audiences to Afrobeats by sharing a video of themselves dancing to Wizkid’s songs when the genre was not yet known to US music lovers.
During the conversation, he added that before Burna Boy gained widespread recognition, he offered him a stage to play for an audience in the US.
He said, “I introduced Wizkid to America. I was the first person to play his song. Me and my wife [Alicia Keys] were on a trip and we danced to his songs.
“I was [also] the first person to bring Burna Boy to the States. I introduced him on the stage. When I was playing Fela Kuti, people thought I was being too African. And that how ignorant the energy was at that time.
“But I didn’t let that stop me from moving what I’m moving because it’s what it’s. It’s about education. We [Americans] can’t be scared of the educational journey of something that sounds different or feels different.”
