International Afrobeats sensation Fireboy DML has officially released his highly anticipated fifth studio album, ZUKO!, available now across all global streaming platforms via YBNL Nation and EMPIRE.
Following the acclaim of his 2024 project Adedamola, ZUKO! marks an assertive new era for the Nigerian singer-songwriter. Spanning 13 tracks, the LP displays a self-assured, boundary-pushing artist expanding his sonic repertoire through a fusion of Afrobeats, South African 3-Step, Dancehall, and Swahili-infused melodies.
"You don't know me enough to misunderstand me," Fireboy DML shared in the lead-up to the release. "With ZUKO!, I wanted to strip away the expectations and create a body of work that is unapologetic, raw, and globally expansive.
