Kenyan rapper, singer, and songwriter Nyashinski has announced that he will be releasing a new album soon.

Through an Instagram Reels post on September 4, 2025, the singer made the announcement.

"This album feels like the next phase for me," the artist said in the video.

In the video, Nyashinski says that he aims to 'talk to' Africa and the whole world through his new album.

The artist's music, which has a large audience in Kenya and East Africa, now aims to expand beyond these borders and into the global market.

Nyashinki describes the album as honest, with some introspective songs that fans would relate to.

The album, which took 8 months to create, has left fans buzzing in anticipation.

"Super excited for this!" commented multiple fans under the post.

Other Kenyan artists, such as Nameless, Femi One, Naiboi, and Big Pin, were not left behind, as they expressed their excitement in the video's comment section.

This announcement comes after Nyashinski's recent signing with Sony Music Africa.

 On August 14, 2025, Sony Music Africa announced that Nyashinski had officially signed with them. 

The announcement, made through Sony Music Africa's official Instagram account, had fans flooding the likes and comments, congratulating the artist on the new signing.

In addition to the signing announcement, the release of his first single, titled "Tai Chi", under the label was also announced.

This historic signing has made Nyashinski the key Kenyan artist currently under the label. Nyashinski described the signing as a product of his choices and a product of love and support from many people.

The co-founding member of the hip-hop trio Kleptomaniax has shown growth and diversity since the beginning of his music career in 1999 as a high school student.

In 2007, Nyashinski released his first solo album, "Kama Kawaida", before stepping away from the music scene.

Since the re-launch of his solo music career in 2016 with the single 'Now you know', Nyashinski has made his mark as a powerhouse in the Kenyan music industry.
