Patient Zero by Monaky arrived on June 30, 2023, and it immediately set him apart as a fresh, fearless voice. The album leans into Afrofusion, with touches of rap, street bounce, and soulful melodies. It feels like Monaky opening a diary he normally keeps closed. The writing centres on survival, sharp observation, ambition, and the emotional weight of coming from a tough background.
The project offers several standout songs. Siren sets the tone with confidence. House Party brings a lighter groove. Kwankwanso and The Plug show his storytelling strength, while After Party adds replay value with its catchy hook. The feature from PsychoYP on Payroll adds a clean rap spark that fits neatly into Monaky’s world.
Overall, Patient Zero sounds like a young artist claiming his space. The production is crisp, the mood is gritty yet warm, and the pacing makes it easy to stay locked in. It is personal, honest, and memorable.
