Zinoleesky – Gen Z | Album Download
Zinoleesky‘s debut studio album, Gen Z, represents his boldest creative leap yet—a vibrant tapestry woven from street-pop roots, genre-blending production, and global perspectives. Released on April 25, 2025, through Marlian Music, this 16-track journey runs for about 44 minutes and delivers a clear message: Zinoleesky is defining what it means to be young, African, and unapologetically real.
From the opening tracks like “Gifted” and “Most Wanted”, the energy is unmistakable. These songs mix Afro-pop, trap, and dancehall sensibilities, setting the tone for an album that moves seamlessly between rhythmic swagger and emotional honesty. “Most Wanted” shot up to No. 3 on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 almost immediately after release. Meanwhile, “Abanikanda” featuring Naira Marley and the sultry “Suit & Tie” with Toosii bridge Nigerian street narratives with global flair.
Behind the scenes, Zinoleesky wisely tapped a powerhouse team: Babybeats, Lekaa Beats, Niphkeys, and JAE5 deliver futuristic yet familiar soundscapes, creating a lush sonic world that supports his vision. He’s joined by an international cast—Ms Banks, Young T & Bugsey, Toosii, Donae’o, Didi B, and Dyani—turning the album into a melting pot of culture.
Lyrically, Gen Z is a reflection on hustle and identity. Tracks like “Born Survivor,” “On Go,” “Lifestyle,” and “Steph Curry” show ambition and grit born from the streets of Agege. At the other end of the emotional spectrum lie intimate cuts like “Doctor,” “One of a Kind,” “Jollof,” and “Ferrari,” where desire, cultural pride, and romance come alive. And yet, it’s “Gifted”—a powerful meditation on promise and pressure—that cuts deepest: “They say I’m blessed, but why do I feel cursed?”
At launch, Gen Z exploded. It hit 2.46 million streams in a single day on Spotify Nigeria, breaking records for a debut album. It also crossed half a million streams on Boomplay within 48 hours. That momentum reflects not only the strength of Zinoleesky’s fan base but the impact of his narrative and sound.
Gen Z isn’t just an album—it’s a generational anthem, rooted in personal storytelling while reaching outward. Zinoleesky’s mix of raw street energy, emotional intelligence, and genre versatility cements his place among Afrobeats’ brightest new voices.
