GRAMMY-nominated Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer OMAH LAy joins forces with multi-platinum rapper Gunna on 'BACK TO LAGOS'.
The collaboration features on, CLARITY OF MIND (EXTENDED), out now via Sire Records /Warner Records. Expanding his acclaimed sophomore album with four previously unreleased tracks, the deluxe edition finds OMAH pushing deeper into the complexities of success, identity, and inner peace while continuing to expand his sound across borders.
On ‘BACK TO LAGOS’, OMAH reflects on fame, ambition, and the cost of getting everything you once dreamed of. Ominous bass, atmospheric guitar, and haunting choral textures frame his memories of life in the spotlight. Gunna brings his signature melodic precision and guarded perspective, adding another dimension to a record that explores the tension between worldly success and personal grounding.

The deluxe edition also features ‘TAKE’ with French rap heavyweight Tiakola, a hypnotic exploration of breaking free from material distractions; ‘KEEP GOING’, an uplifting reminder to persevere over understated dance rhythms and ‘HOLY GHOST FIRE’ featuring producer Lekaa Beats, a stripped-back reimagining of the album’s spiritual centerpiece built around keys, guitar, and violin.
Since its release this spring, CLARITY OF MIND has marked a defining chapter in OMAH’s evolution. The album placed 12 songs simultaneously on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, earning him a personal best, and debuted at #8 on the World Albums chart as well as #1 on Spotify’s Global Top Albums debut chart. Arriving after his 2026 GRAMMY nomination alongside Davido for ‘With You’, the project marked OMAH’s first full-length release since 2022’s Boy Alone and signaled a bold new phase of artistic and personal growth.
Across the album, OMAH confronts the dualities of being human—spiritual awakening and earthly temptation, vulnerability and ambition, peace and upheaval. At the center of the album is the focus track ‘I AM’, a hypnotic, mantra-like affirmation that blurs the line between confidence and inner chaos. Also produced by Lekaa Beats, ‘I AM’ marks another compelling collaboration between the two. Additional standout tracks include ‘HOLY GHOST’, ‘WAIST’ and ‘DON’T LOVE ME’, a darkly seductive exploration of emotional conflict.
