The music star took to his social media page in the early hours of Friday to release the 17-track project to his numerous fans.

Others enlisted for the album are Lil Baby, Hit-Boy, Sho Madjozi, Bella Shmurda, Sauti Sol and Mayorkun.
The project comes against the backdrop of the success recorded by ‘A Good Time‘, his 2019 album; ‘Omo Baba Olowo’, his 2012 body of work, and ‘Son of Mercy’, his 2016 EP.
Davido had on Wednesday described the album as his own way of inspiring hope amid the numerous challenges that have been confronting people since the dawn of 2020.
“This year we’ve been through crazy times. And through it all, we’ve all had to look inwards to find hopes of better times ahead. I found a few. In human and creative form. I’m so glad I can finally share them with you…” he had said.
With strings of awards and honorary mentions, Davido has established himself as one of the leading names in the Nigerian music industry.
He had recently declared himself as the “biggest artiste in Nigeria” amid rumoured rivalry with Wizkid.

Don’t chase stats, Kizz Daniel shares with coworkers
Daniel Anidugbe, better known by his stage name Kizz Daniel, is a Nigerian singer who has advised his peers to give up trying to reach the top of the charts on streaming services.
He urged them to concentrate on their craft, emphasizing that the popularity of songs on some streaming services doesn’t necessarily translate to other platforms.
“Stop worrying about social media algorithms and concentrate on your art.” I doubt you have heard of a man named Killer Mike. Grammy winner four times.
“Stop chasing the number one song; it’s mediocre now. Everything is under your control. The majority of those songs’ numbers don’t match up on other platforms. “Check,” he wrote.
Kizz Daniel explained in a different post that while he isn’t opposed to using bots to increase streams because it’s a marketing tactic, it’s not for well-known artists.
He claimed that rather than disparaging his peers, his role was to support up-and-coming musicians in releasing their music without worrying about it failing to catch on with streaming services.
“Farming is marketing for placement and all, therefore it’s not a crime. However, who gets the money?
“We’re not trying to disparage anyone here before the beginning; we’re just encouraging the younger generation to uncover those undiscovered treasures. Daniel wrote, “I will learn.”
