Burna Boy’s seventh studio album, I Told Them…, has arrived. Stream the record below.
Spanning 15 songs and featuring appearances by 21 Savage, RZA, J. Cole, Byron Messia, and more, I Told Them… continues Burna Boy’s distinct Afrobeats sound. Speaking about the record in a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, the rapper explained that he sees the record as a milestone of his success. “This one is for the part of my own home and the people in my own home who didn’t believe or doubt it, or still doubt, or any type of thing,” he said. “You can go back to my old tweets and stuff. I basically predicted everything that’s happening now.”
Continuing, he likened his manifestation of success with the words of a prophet, and concluded with: “It’s fun to tell people something is true, and they doubt, and then they end up seeing it. There’s no greater feeling.”
Along with the album’s release, Burna Boy has also released a limited edition “magazine,” inspired by the album’s artwork, featuring a conversation between Burna Boy and Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, letters from his family, exclusive photos, and more. Orders are ongoing.
