The 16-track album, whose title translates to “I see joy” in Yoruba, is a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023.
Announcing the project earlier this year, Wizkid declared, “Best album I ever made!! Now listen! It’s only up from here!”
Morayo features an array of collaborations with prominent artists, including Brent Faiyaz on “Piece of My Heart,” Asake on “Bad Girl,” Tiakola on “Après Minuit,” Jazmine Sullivan on “Bad For You,” and Anaïs on “Slow.”
