The artist is expected to release his next album later this year under Sony Music label. His latest piece titled ‘Aje’ was released under Sony Music and the crooner took the opportunity to announce its release.
An excited Ali Kiba said he is looking forward to a fruitful partnership with the giant music label and will still be working together with his management team Rockstar4000 toward greater achievements.
