Wizkid has released his sixth studio album Morayo on Friday (Nov. 22) via Starboy Entertainment and RCA Records.
Morayo, which translates to “I see joy” in Yoruba, is dedicated to his later mother Juliana Morayo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023. “Best album I ever made!! Now listen! It’s only up from here!” Wiz tweeted back in July.
The 16-track project includes previously released singles “Piece of My Heart,” featuring Brent Faiyaz, and “Kese (Dance)” and other collaborations with Asake (“Bad Girl”), Tiakola (“Apres Minuit”), Jazmine Sullivan (“Bad For You”) and Anaïs (“Slow”). See the full tracklist below:

Morayo arrives three years after his last album More Love, Less Ego, which reached No. 2 on World Albums and No. 59 on the Billboard 200. The 13-track LP included collaborations with Ayra Starr (“2 Sugar”), Skillibeng and Shenseea (“Slip n Slide”), Skepta and Naira Marley (“Wow”) and Don Toliver (“Special”).
