“Maverick” dropped on July 28, 2023, through Flyboy Inc. and Empire Distribution. It’s Kizz Daniel’s fourth studio album, and he really went big this time; 20 tracks, a packed guest list with names like Johnny Drille, Yemi Alade, Becky G, Tekno, Blaqbonez, Chike, Nomcebo Zikode, and even his own kids.
The album jumps around a lot: there’s afrobeats, slow-burning R&B, energetic pop, and some surprisingly personal stuff about family, legacy, and figuring out his own path.
The name fits; Kizz Daniel isn’t chasing trends; he’s just doing what feels right to him. Critics couldn’t quite agree. Some loved how ambitious and raw it gets, while others thought it dragged and didn’t always hold together.
