The pop singer was recently featured on RollingStone magazine in a write-up where he was named among SXSW’s 25 artists the world needs to watch out for in 2016.

The pop star recently signed a Sony Music BMG global publishing and distribution deal, becoming the first African artist to sign such a deal.  He is expected to release two albums with his sophomore album “Baddest” not likely to drop in 2016 because the singer plans to give the album more time to give it an international appeal and stage a successful global distribution of the project.

The singer has started off collaborations with Meek Mill, Trey Songz (yet to be released) and is speculated to work with more international acts such as U.S rappers TI, Young Thug and Future as well as British actor cum singer Idris Elba.
