Released at midnight on October 6, 2022, the debut album has quickly become a social media phenomenon in Ghana for several reasons and among them is his creative touch. Secondly, it has a sensational feel to it; “Oh Paradise” his 12th track in the album relives a sad story of his battle with emotions following the death of his girlfriend Clementina Konadu five years ago. She died from an outbreak of Swine Flu when she was 17. Over and above his recent single ‘Soja’ introduced the album. New songs that made it to the album include ‘Oil in My Head’, ‘45’, ‘Da Youngsta’, 'Konongo Zongo', 'We Up', 'Toxic Love', and 'Don't Forget Me'.
