“ZUKO!” is Nigerian Afropop singer Fireboy DML‘s fifth studio album, featuring the track “MIMI NAWE,” released in 2026. The song is in the Swahili language. Yung Willis produced the track.
The phrase roughly translates to “me and you,” bringing an East African linguistic flavor to the effort. Fireboy has been exploring links to many African musical traditions, especially in collaborations that take him out of the confines of his Nigerian Afropop base.
The record is another contribution to an album with musicians from different creative backgrounds joining Yung Willis’s production. Fireboy has always been melodious in his career, blending Afrobeats with modern R&B elements and remaining open to other musical approaches.
The singer has already attracted listeners across Africa and internationally and continues to grow his catalog with different collaborations and cultural inspirations. The Swahili title provides another point of interest to the album’s overall African vibe, especially for those listeners who know the language.
The track is accessible on all major digital streaming platforms. Give it a listen and let us know what you think in the comments below.
