Bella Shmurda has released a reflective new album, Sanity, featuring Ckay, K1 De Ultimate and more.
Since his 2019 breakout with the “Vision 2020” remix alongside Olamide, Bella Shmurda’s music has drawn strength from honesty. Over the years, he has delivered one album, four EPs and countless hits that reflect the struggles and triumphs of everyday people who see themselves in his journey.
With his new album, Sanity, Bella steps into a new chapter, described as reflective and creatively evolved. No longer the hungry newcomer chasing success, Bella narrates from the perspective of an artist who has achieved much but understands that “the crown comes with its own weight”.
“Sanity is about balance,” Bella notes. “It’s about holding on to yourself through chaos. It’s survival music for my people, and also a step forward into where I’m going next”.
The 16-track album is a masterful blend of Fuji, Apala, Afropop, and street pop, creating a soundscape that is both rooted in tradition and futuristic in its ambition.
Sanity features a cross-continental lineup, bridging Afropop heavyweights, street pop titans, and new-generation voices. Collaborators include Ckay, King Promise, Seyi Vibez, Fola, K1 De Ultimate, Musiliu Ishola, Joshua Baraka, Kunmie, and T.I Blaze.
The album’s tracklist includes: “Appraisal”, “Verily”, “Turn Me On”, “Sanity” (Ft. Kunmie), “Holy Jah”, “Mandalene” (ft. King Promise), “Bounce” (ft. Sey Vibez), “Fuji Fusion” (ft. K1 De Ultimate), “Apala Fusion”, “Bygone” (ft. Ckay), “Pretty Girl” (ft. Joshua Baraka), “Dangbana Riddim” (ft. Fola), “Run From God” (ft. T.I Blaze), “My G”, “Pain” (ft. Z’Bah), and “Family”.
With Sanity, Bella Shmurda uses his platform to share his story—a human, feel-good chronicle meant to uplift and inspire.
