“Prepare to meet ‘The Guy’ August 19th,” MI tweeted alongside a promotional video for the project.
‘The Guy’ will be MI Abaga’s seventh solo album.
Earlier this month, MI put out a joint studio album alongside AQ, Loose Kaynon, and Blaqbonez titled ‘Behold the Lamb’.
In April, the rapper urged his fans to anticipate a “classic body of work” which might win the Grammys.
“And now that that’s is all over…music coming soon. Now I can focus so I release this album properly,” he wrote.
“Because it is a classic… Might win a Grammy. I appreciate your patience.”
The rapper has established himself as a household name in Africa.
He has also received an avalanche of awards and recognition. In 2009, he snagged the Best Hip Hop Act category at the MTV Africa Music Awards.
