“The Entertainer: D’Sequel” marks a powerful return for D’banj, a project that bridges his legacy with his future, celebrating two decades in the game while pushing into new creative territory.
This is more than just another album. It’s a follow-up to his 2008 classic The Entertainer, and D’banj uses it to reflect on his journey, growth, and legacy.
He embraces a more international sound, pulling in legends like Youssou N’Dour, Wyclef Jean, and Akon. He also collaborated with Nigerian stars, the likes of Phyno, Timaya, Kayswitch, Zlatan, Peruzzi, plus African and global icons Awilo Longomba, Wyclef, Youssou N’Dour, and Akon, all made appearances.
Tracks like “World Famous” are a bold opening that restates D’banj’s ambition, legacy, and status. “Yours Truly” feat. Phyno is reflective, almost conversational, where D’banj talks about his journey, and Phyno adds weight. “Since ’04” a nostalgic piece, referencing how long he’s been in the game and how far he’s come, and so many more powerful tracks are embedded in this album.
The album masterfully brings back the spirit of The Entertainer while also showing growth.
