Shoday has officially released his debut album 'HYBRID', a 14-track project that seamlessly blends traditional Afrobeat, pop, and high-energy street hop. Following the massive success of his lead single "Paparazzi," which features Fola, the album explores Shoday's journey as a dreamer navigating the complexities of sudden fame. 'HYBRID' captures the essence of a local hero with international prospects and is characterized by polished features and a mix of bouncy rhythms and melodic hooks designed for TikTok virality and radio longevity.

As the final track fades, it becomes evident that 'HYBRID' is a calculated attempt by Shoday to claim a permanent seat at the Afrobeat elite table, capturing the current zeitgeist of the Nigerian music scene with its energetic and ambitious sound.
