Phyno dropped “The Playmaker” in 2016; it was a cultural celebration wrapped in melody, rhythm, and raw storytelling. The artist returned, not as a rapper trying to prove himself, but as a maestro fully in command of his sound and identity. “The Playmaker” album is where Phyno transforms from the bold newcomer to the architect of Eastern pride, blending hip-hop, highlife, and Afrobeat into a project that feels both modern and homegrown.
Every track feels like a scene in a movie, each one telling a story of ambition, love, loyalty, and joy. The album opens with “Yes, I Pray (Nwa Oge Nta),” which came in the prayer for success that sets the emotional tone. Featuring artists like Olamide, Davido, Zoro, Flavour, and many others brought the balance in sound and an all-around perfect orientation to let the album ride into.
