Mr. P has unveiled the cover art and full 15-track list for his new album, OG Forever, and confirmed that it arrives on Thursday, 20 November. The Nigerian star, born Peter Okoye and one half of P-Square, shared the artwork and tracklist on Monday, 9 November, less than two days after headlining a show in Tamale.
In a post on X, Mr. P said the project had taken two years to make. “Two years of recording, sleepless nights, going back to the studio, mixing, mastering and sometimes starting all over again because I knew I could do better,” he wrote, adding: “I won’t lie, this one really pushed me.”
The tracklist
The album opens with “Nothing to Prove”, followed by “I Can’t Look Away”, “Brown Sugar”, “Dutty Whine”, the title track “OG Forever”, “Wish You Well”, “No Case”, “I Dey Active”, “Winning”, “Peteru”, “Shebi You Dey Whine Me”, “I Love You Because”, “Permanent Address”, “Chukwu Mee” and “Back 2 Back”.
Three songs, “Brown Sugar”, “No Case” and “Shebi You Dey Whine Me”, list featured artists whose names have been left blank. “I know some of you are already looking at those missing names! Don’t worry, we will unveil that soon,” Mr. P wrote. Ghanamotion will not guess at the guests until they are officially confirmed. In a follow-up post, he said opener “Nothing to Prove” drops this Friday, 13 November.
The Ghana connection
Ghanaian fans have already had a taste of the album era. “I Can’t Look Away”, track two on the list, got a remix with Tamale rapper Maccasio, released on 8 November. Listen to Mr. P and Maccasio’s “I Can’t Look Away (Remix)” here.
The pair shared a stage in Tamale on Saturday night, 7 November. In a post on X the next morning, Mr. P thanked the northern city for its reception: “Tamale, you showed this OG so much love. I can’t thank you enough!” He also gave a shout-out to Maccasio.
With the cover out and the first track due this week, the countdown to 20 November is on. “NOVEMBER 20TH… We feast!!!” Mr. P wrote.
