The album, which is Olamide’s 11th studio work features Rema, Fireboy DML, Asake, BNXN and Ckay, among other music artistes, is one of the anticipated music projects in the music industry despite Kizz Daniel and Adekunle Gold dropping albums on Friday.

Speaking with R, Olamide described his album as mixture of the good and the bad, adding that those who love Olamide will embrace the project and run up the number while those who expect something different may be surprised as well.

He noted that he took his time to work on the album and the title being unruly should tell people that it is not the regular album that preaches to everyone.

“It is an album that only the unruly can appreciate and vibe to. I am looking forward to the album dominating the social media and music platforms in its first week of release.”
