Since releasing his widely acclaimed OUTSIDE project, Nigerian Afro-fusion artiste Burna Boy has been making laudable outside impacts.
According to Burna Boy, with this project, he aims to cross more boundaries and shatter glass ceilings. “This time I wanted it to appeal to a much wider audience. That was my focus on this one: to gain a wider audience without losing myself in the process. Still do what I do, but appeal to more audiences—the audience I didn’t have before”, He revealed during a chat with Interview Magazine.
Following the release of the 13-track mixtape, the singer has had held private listenings in London, Los Angeles and the project made an impressive debut on the number 3 spot on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.
The relentless singer appears to be working on new materials as he was spotted in the studio with legendary American record producers; Timbaland and Skrillex.
