Morayo arrives three years after his last album More Love, Less Ego, which reached No. 2 on World Albums and No. 59 on the Billboard 200. The 13-track LP included collaborations with Ayra Starr (“2 Sugar”), Skillibeng and Shenseea (“Slip n Slide”), Skepta and Naira Marley (“Wow”) and Don Toliver (“Special”).
