The 13-track project arrives as one of the singer’s most intentional bodies of work, blending personal reflection with an impressive mix of African and international collaborations.

Released on July 31, 2026, the album’s launch date carries special significance for the award-winning artist, commemorating exactly 15 years since his emergence on the music scene.

Rather than looking back, Davido uses ORIADÉ to reflect on purpose, growth, and the legacy he continues to build as one of Afrobeats’ biggest global ambassadors.

The album’s title draws its meaning from two Yoruba words, “Ori,” meaning destiny, and “Adé,” meaning crown, combining to form “ORIADÉ,” or “the crowned head.” The concept runs throughout the project, touching on themes of identity, faith, gratitude, brotherhood, ambition, and fulfilling one’s destiny.

Ahead of the release, Davido hinted at the album’s direction when he unveiled its cinematic teaser with the caption, “The kingdom expands. Chosen long before the throne.” That message now serves as the foundation of a project that presents the singer in a more focused creative space.

The kingdom expands. Chosen long before the throne.

— Davido (@davido) June 29, 2026

Unlike the expansive 5ive, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard World Albums chart in 2025, ORIADÉ takes a more concise approach. The album contains 13 tracks, making it the shortest project in Davido’s catalogue while maintaining a carefully curated listening experience.

The project opens with On the Road before moving into Amazing Grace featuring Ghanaian star Black Sherif. Previously released songs I Know Who I Be featuring South African producers JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, alongside Gimme Dat Ting with NO11, also appear on the album.

Davido further broadens the project’s international appeal through collaborations with Mayorkun and FOLA on B4 B4, American R&B singer Leon Thomas on Tell Everybody, French-Malian superstar Aya Nakamura on Yaya, and fast-rising Nigerian artist Llona on My Light. The remaining solo records—Julie, Constantly, Already Falling, Zanzibar, and Guide allow the singer to showcase his versatility across different sounds and emotions.

With ORIADÉ, Davido enters another defining chapter of a career that has consistently shaped the global rise of Afrobeats. Combining introspective storytelling, carefully selected collaborations, and polished production, the album stands as both a celebration of how far he has come and a statement of where he intends to go next.

The reveal gives fans their clearest picture yet of what to expect from the album, with the tracklist showcasing a balance between personal records and collaborations that span different musical styles and regions. Familiar collaborators sit alongside fresh creative partnerships, adding to the anticipation surrounding the release.

Within minutes of the announcement, “Oriade” became a major talking point across social media as fans began sharing their excitement over the featured artists and debating which songs could emerge as early favorites.

Collaborations such as “Amazing Grace” with Black Sherif, “B4 B4” featuring Mayorkun and FOLA, and Yaya with Aya Nakamura have already sparked widespread conversation.

As anticipation continues to build, “Oriade” is shaping up to be another significant chapter in Davido’s career, with expectations high that the project will further reinforce his status as one of Afrobeats’ leading global stars.

During a recent Twitch livestream, the Afrobeats superstar confirmed that former DMW signee Mayorkun, fast-rising sensation Llona and singer-songwriter FOLA are among the featured acts on the project. The revelation immediately sparked excitement online, with fans already anticipating the collaborations ahead of the album’s arrival.

One of the biggest talking points is Davido’s reunion with Mayorkun. The pair have built a strong musical partnership over the years, delivering several hit records during Mayorkun’s time with Davido Music Worldwide (DMW). Their latest collaboration is already shaping up to be one of the album’s most eagerly awaited tracks.

The inclusion of Llona and FOLA also highlights Davido’s willingness to share the spotlight with the next generation of Nigerian music stars. Both artists have enjoyed impressive momentum in recent months, and their appearance on the album is expected to introduce their sound to an even wider audience.

Excitement surrounding Oriade has continued to grow since Davido officially announced the project as the follow-up to 5ive. Beyond serving as another milestone in his career, the album is expected to reflect on his 15-year journey in the music industry, with themes centred around identity, destiny and legacy.

Although the full tracklist remains under wraps, the latest feature announcement has only fueled speculation about which other artists could make the final cut. With Oriade scheduled for release on July 31, anticipation continues to build for what many expect to be one of the year’s biggest Afrobeats albums.

The song is a vibrant, high-energy anthem that perfectly fuses Zlatan’s streetwise swagger with Mayorkun’s smooth, melodic touch.

Built around themes of hustle, money flow, and digital-age confidence, “PayPal” paints a picture of the modern grind, ambitious, witty, and unapologetically bold.

Zlatan delivers clever punchlines laced with motivation, while Mayorkun anchors the track with an irresistibly catchy hook that makes it impossible not to hit replay.

Zlatan & Mayorkun “Paypal” Lyrics

Two years in the making, Symbol of Hope, Zlatan’s third studio album, has finally arrived, and it’s everything the Zanku pioneer promised: raw, introspective, unfiltered, and full of heart.

This isn’t just an album; it’s a living testament to endurance, grit, and the unshakable belief that where you start doesn’t have to determine where you end up.

From the very first note, it’s clear that Symbol of Hope is more than a music project, it’s a philosophy. Across 15 tracks, Zlatan turns his life story into a sonic blueprint for survival, equal parts cautionary tale and motivation manual.

The album’s title isn’t just symbolic; it’s deeply personal. In a candid sit-down featuring his son Shiloh, Zlatan revealed how his own struggles growing up in Ikorodu shaped the spirit of the project.

“When I was growing up, I used to have people I looked up to. I saw people who made it from nothing to something,” he shared. “They were symbols that gave me hope. And now, a lot of people look up to me too, including you. I’ve become a symbol of hope to many.”

That sentiment echoes through the entire project. On “Pay Day,” Zlatan fires back at his doubters with calm defiance, while “Oyoyo” finds him in a reflective mood, embracing patience and self-belief. These are the words of a man who’s seen both the hustle and the harvest.

Of course, Zlatan doesn’t walk this journey alone. Symbol of Hope reads like a celebration of the Afrobeats family tree. Davido, Olamide, Flavour, Victony, Mayorkun, Shallipopi, Bhadboi OML, Qing Madi, Lojay, Idowest, TerryTheVoice, and FOLA all join the movement. Yet, their appearances feel organic, not strategic, like friends returning home for a long-awaited reunion.

One of the album’s most striking moments comes on “Gimme Your Love,” where Zlatan reconnects with Olamide, his early supporter and collaborator from 2017’s My Body.

Their synergy is effortless, gritty, emotional, and nostalgic. Meanwhile, Davido jumps on “Hip Hop Messiah” to co-sign Zlatan’s claim to cultural leadership, and Flavour blesses “Genesis” with a soulful layer of Highlife depth. Rising star Qing Madi brings tenderness and introspection to “Demons,” confronting fame’s mental toll with poise beyond her years.

Musically, Zlatan sounds sharper than ever. He balances his trademark street bravado with maturity, gliding between chest-thumping anthems and heartfelt storytelling.

Tracks like “Odeshi” and “Happy Day” bang hard for the hustlers, while “Diamond” explores love through the lens of survival, a poetic confession from someone who’s learned that in the streets, affection and ambition often collide. “Alpha & Omega” with Bhadboi OML peels back the layers, revealing a spiritual side that’s rarely seen but deeply felt.

What ties it all together is Zlatan’s evolving artistry. His delivery remains fierce, but now there’s restraint and clarity where there once was chaos. You can feel the discipline of a man who’s not only rapping to survive anymore but also to inspire.

Symbol of Hope follows 2019’s Zanku and 2021’s Resan, but this time, Zlatan isn’t just chasing hits; he’s cementing a legacy. Every verse, feature, and beat feels intentional, a culmination of everything he’s learned since his Ikorodu days.

In the end, Symbol of Hope isn’t just about Zlatan’s triumph; it’s about everyone who sees themselves in his journey. It’s a love letter to dreamers, hustlers, and believers who refuse to be defined by struggle.

The Zanku Boss hasn’t just dropped an album; he’s delivered an anthem for a generation that never stops pushing. The message is clear: hope isn’t found; it’s created.

The title, derived from the Swahili word for “patience,” perfectly encapsulates the project’s core: a portrait of an artist who has taken his time to refine both his craft and message.

Blending Afrobeats, highlife, R&B, and Afro-soul, SABALI unfolds as a deeply personal yet universally resonant narrative of love, resilience, and ambition. It’s the sound of an artist reconnecting with his essence while exploring fresh creative ground.

Peruzzi’s warm, honeyed vocals glide effortlessly over mid-tempo grooves, layered percussion, and lush instrumentation, conjuring imagery of Lagos nights alive with emotion and possibility.

His songwriting remains sharp, introspective, and textured, offering glimpses into quiet triumphs, romantic vulnerability, and the unrelenting pursuit of success.

From the confessional opener “Die It” to the genre-bending “Apala Drill” featuring Davido, Peruzzi builds a sonic universe where patience meets innovation. “Perfect Situation,” a reunion with Davido, Mayorkun, and Dremo, delivers pure DMW nostalgia, while “Cooking Pot” with Jeriq adds a gritty street flair steeped in hustle and swagger.

Each collaboration feels intentional, from “Nuff Respect” featuring Jesse Jagz, which dives into lyrical depth, to “Mad Oh” with The Cavemen, blending contemporary groove with highlife’s timeless warmth. On “You,” featuring Kemuel, Peruzzi slips into melodic tenderness, while “Ecstasy,” with JujuBoy and Nana Kwabena, explores dreamy, transcendent moods.

The album’s second half keeps the energy alive “Legalise” stands out as a heartfelt solo declaration, “Time of My Life” featuring Esoterica ties things together on a celebratory note, and surprise cameos from Timaya, Zlatan, Terri, Bella Shmurda, Gazo, and The Flowolf round out a feature list that bridges generations and genres.

SABALI is more than a comeback; it’s a statement of evolution and endurance. Peruzzi’s deliberate pacing gives space for emotional honesty, proving that patience not only shapes character but also refines artistry.

Already climbing streaming charts and earning critical praise for its emotional depth and collaborative synergy, SABALI reaffirms Peruzzi’s reputation as one of Afropop’s most expressive storytellers, a voice equally at home in moments of reflection and celebration.

Available now on all major platforms, SABALI invites listeners into Peruzzi’s world, a place where patience meets passion, and every beat carries the quiet victory of growth.

Nigerian Afrobeats stars Davido and Mayorkun have achieved a new international milestone as their collaborative hit, “The Best,” has officially sold over 100,000 units in the United States.

Originally released in November 2020 as part of Davido’s critically acclaimed third studio album, ‘A Better Time,’ the track continues to make waves nearly five years later.

Recent data confirms that “The Best” has crossed the 100,000-unit mark in the U.S., combining digital downloads with streaming-equivalent sales.

Widely praised for its infectious melody and vibrant production, the track showcases Mayorkun’s lyrical finesse alongside Davido’s signature vocal delivery.

The song quickly became a fan favorite and has maintained its relevance in the Afrobeats canon since its debut.

The music video, directed by Dammy Twitch, remains a visual staple with over 30 million views on YouTube, contributing to the single’s enduring global appeal.

This sales milestone underscores the continued rise of Afrobeats on the global stage, as leading Nigerian artists like Davido and Mayorkun solidify their influence beyond Africa.

While neither artist has publicly commented on the achievement at the time of this report, fans have taken to social media to celebrate, with many hailing the track as one of the standout collaborations in modern Afrobeats history.

As Afrobeats continues its global ascension, “The Best” stands as a testament to the genre’s cross-continental appeal and the lasting creative synergy between two of its most prominent voices.

Widely known as the “Mayor of Lagos” since his breakout in 2016 with Eleko, Mayorkun’s latest project showcases an artist evolving, reflecting, and still delivering hits that move crowds and playlists alike.

Still The Mayor comes four years after his sophomore album Back In Office (2021), and a year after his 2023 EP Love.. For Free. The new album, initially slated for release on May 2 but delayed to allow for additional fine-tuning, is Mayorkun at his most refined yet. Balancing his signature charisma with matured themes and production, he delivers an album that is at once personal and panoramic in its reach.

The album boasts eight high-profile collaborations, including Davido, Fireboy DML (featured on two tracks), Rotimi, King Promise, Olivetheboy, Dremo, The Flowolf, and Michii. Each guest brings their unique flair, making for a rich, textured listening experience.

The lead single Innocent, featuring Fireboy DML, sets the tone with its introspective lyrics and smooth blend of melodies. On Reason 2 Japa, Mayorkun addresses the Nigerian emigration crisis with sharp, heartfelt storytelling laid over an Amapiano-inspired beat.

Blessings on Blessings with Davido and Diamonds with Fireboy DML lean heavily into Mayorkun’s talent for catchy hooks, while Konko Below lights up the streets with its pulsing energy. On Hold Body, King Promise adds a soulful touch to an R&B-leaning jam perfect for late-night vibes.

Behind the boards, producers like Speroach Beatz and Clemzy help craft a soundscape that reflects Afrobeats’ global growth. Traditional rhythms mix effortlessly with R&B, Afropop, electronic, and subtle rap influences. The album’s sonic diversity echoes the genre-bending boldness of Mayorkun’s 2020 hit Geng, but here, it’s more polished, more daring.

Tracks like Industry Girl (Interlude), a posse cut featuring The Flowolf, Dremo, and Michii, highlight Mayorkun’s curatorial instincts, though not all risks fully land.

“Still The Mayor” arrives at midnight!
Big ups to everyone who worked on this project with me.. It’s a special one for many reasons.. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/2SC8GaaEEs

— MAYORKUN (@Mayorkun) June 12, 2025

Lyrically, Still The Mayor finds Mayorkun stepping into a more reflective mode. On Reason 2 Japa, he laments:

“I’m chasing dreams, but the system’s a cage.”

Still, his trademark charm remains. On Diamonds, he quips:

“My shine too bright, e dey blind them.”

This balance between sober realities and joyful braggadocio is part of what continues to make Mayorkun so relatable and magnetic.

The album is not without its minor missteps. The opener, while energetic, may feel like a jarring start for some listeners expecting a smoother introduction. Similarly, Industry Girl, despite its ambition, comes across as slightly overcrowded. Yet, these moments are the exceptions, not the rule.

From his humble beginnings as a former banker who posted music covers on social media, Mayorkun has grown into one of Afrobeats’ brightest stars. His debut album, The Mayor of Lagos, established his hit-making credentials. Back In Office proved he could sustain the momentum. Now, Still The Mayor marks a new era—an artist with global vision and full command of his artistry.

Accompanied by a high-profile listening party in Accra and a planned African tour, the album’s rollout points to even bigger ambitions.

Still The Mayor is not just a celebration of Mayorkun’s rise—it’s a confident reminder that his reign is far from over.

Afropop sensation Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, has opened up about the pivotal role Davido played in helping him land a new deal with Sony Music Africa.

While Mayorkun didn’t go into specifics about Davido’s involvement, his comments underscored the ongoing support he receives from the Unavailable hitmaker, even after exiting Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) in 2021.

The singer also used the interview to confirm that his highly anticipated third studio album, Still The Mayor, is set for release on June 13, 2025.

Reflecting on the project, he described it as his “most difficult album to complete,” citing delays caused by clearance issues and strict label protocols.

“This album isn’t about proving anything,” he said. “It’s a continuation of my story. The title, Still The Mayor, is bold—it raises questions, and that’s what I wanted.”

He continued, “It’s been tough. Every time we fixed a release date, something would come up. The music industry has changed—clearances take time, and my label insists on doing everything the proper way. But it’s finally ready. We just wanted to avoid unnecessary issues.”

Mayorkun released his debut album, The Mayor of Lagos, in 2018, followed by Back in Office in 2021 under Sony Music West Africa. Still The Mayor marks a new chapter in his journey—one that blends independence with global partnership and the continued mentorship of Afrobeats icon Davido.
