Nigerian singer Fireboy DML has released his fifth studio album, "ZUKO!", on October 16, 2026 via YBNL Nation and EMPIRE. The 13-track project is the follow-up to his 2024 album adedamola, and it is led by the fiery single "CLAAT!" featuring Jamaican star Masicka.
The album title reclaims "Zuko," a nickname once used to mock the singer born Adedamola Adefolahan. With guests including Lojay, Judah Earl, JAZZWRLD and Thukuthela, ZUKO! is already shaping up as one of the biggest African releases of the year.
