After teasing fans with a cinematic trailer for his long-awaited debut album Gen Z at the start of the year, Billboard-charting Nigerian streetpop star ZINOLEESKY ignites the countdown to the highly anticipated album with the release of its electrifying final lead single ‘MOST WANTED’ arriving on April 4. Produced by longtime collaborator Niphkeys (Stormzy, Rema), the track is a confident declaration from an artist entering a new era on his own terms. Fusing afrobeats, trap and dancehall into a slick, world-ready sound, ‘Most Wanted’ reflects Zinoleesky’s growth, resilience, and undeniable pull. Lyrically sharp and rhythmically bold, it’s a statement of intent that affirms his status as one of the finest young artists in global music. Whether on radio, in the club, or through headphones across the diaspora, ‘Most Wanted’ is a universal anthem of self-assurance and forward motion.
As anticipation builds toward the late April release of the Gen Z album, ‘Most Wanted’ offers one more glimpse into the bold, immersive world Zinoleesky has crafted over the last two years, a world where music becomes both escape and expression. ‘Most Wanted’ as well as the forthcoming Gen Z album signal the start of a new era for the Billboard-charting Nigerian star, whose sound continues to evolve while remaining rooted in streetpop authenticity and emotional truth. With its layered lyricism, infectious groove, and undeniable charisma, ‘Most Wanted’ carries the energy of an artist who isn’t afraid to claim his moment, and perfectly sets the stage for what promises to be a defining chapter in Zinoleesky’s ascent – a moment of personal growth, global ambition and boundary-pushing artistry that affirms Zino as one of the leaders of afropop and global music’s new wave.
