According to his manager, Asa Asika who was with him at the BET Awards, Davido is back in the studios recording.

Davido and his Son of Mercy EP

Davido released his debut album, Omo Baba Olowo, on July 17, 2012, and despite working on his second album, initially named The Baddest and releasing a number of singles the following year, Davido failed to release any body of work.

In 2016, he released the Son of Mercy EP, as part of his international deal with Sony Music Entertainment.

That was supposed to be the cross-over project, the body of work that broke boundaries and establish Davido as more than a local champion, but a global star.

The five-track project which featured American singer, Tinashe alongside Simi and Nasty C, however, failed to deliver the expected results.

The project lacked the usual energy associated with Davido and eventually didn't strike any chord on global charts.

But Davido soon returned to basics, flipped the script, delivered four sterling singles in 2017, with If and Fall winning him awards, and now sits supreme as arguably the biggest artist in the land.

His work rate and sleepless nights have been well projected by members of his DMW crew and associates who have consistently reiterated how hard he pushes himself, but don't hold your breathe just yet as Davido also promised a DMW group album this June and with three days to the end of the month, there is no album in sight.
