Burna Boy has returned with his new single "Money Play".
"Money Play" is Burna Boy's first single since featuring on Stormzy's "Own It" with Ed Sheeran in November.
Pitchfork reports that Burna Boy says of the new single, "I’m highlighting the importance of moving with the 'cheese' at all times. 'No dey carry money play' is a word of advice/stern warning to never lose the hustle mentality."
Burna Boy's African Giant album that he released in July has also received a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album.
"Money Play" is out now. Burna Boy will play Germany's Melt Festival next summer. Find out more.
