Two years after ‘Full Time Job,’ Phyno returns with ‘Let That Sink In (LTSI),’ a 15-track album featuring Wande Coal, Seyi Vibez, Oxlade, Lojay, Fireboy DML, Chike and Jeriq, bringing together artists with different approaches to Nigerian music.

The album opens with “Ndu Ka Aku” featuring Seyi Vibez and “Ndewo” featuring Wande Coal, before moving into “Beautiful,” “Next Of Kin,” “Magret” featuring Oxlade and “Bom Bom” featuring Lojay. While these tracks explore the album’s celebratory and romantic side, “20 Years To Come” takes a more serious turn.

Phyno questions what Nigeria will look like in the decades ahead, addressing poor governance, insecurity and the struggles ordinary citizens face. The song reflects on how these problems continue to affect successive generations. On “Kriptonite,” featuring Chike, he returns to matters of the heart, pairing his rap delivery with the singer’s soulful vocals. Later tracks, including “Chukwu Okike,” “I Believe” featuring Fireboy DML, “Healing,” “Ije Enu” featuring Jeriq and “Ask Of Me Now,” bring faith and gratitude into focus.

Since releasing his debut album No Guts No Glory in 2014, Phyno has built a career around his distinct Igbo-language rap style, helping bring it to a wider audience. Its lead single, “Ghost Mode” featuring Olamide, won Best Collaboration at both the Headies and the Nigeria Entertainment Awards. On ‘Let That Sink In,’ Phyno draws from different parts of his artistry, combining familiar sounds with songs that address his personal outlook and the realities around him.
