After a brief period away from the spotlight, ZIRO KINGIN is back with a renewed spirit and a message for his fans. “The music never left me,” he says. “I’ve been recording, building, and reflecting. A new project is coming—raw, reflective, and street-approved. No release date yet, but when it drops, they’ll know ZIRO KINGIN is back for real.”

Born Sodiq Badmus Ishola, ZIRO KINGIN’s roots in music run deep. Raised in Surulere, Lagos—a hub for musical talent—he began his music journey as a teenager and quickly became a voice for the streets. His 2014 breakout mixtape Hustle put him on the radar, followed by the hard-hitting From The Lungu in 2019 featuring Dablixx OSHA, which garnered over 1.5 million streams.

His 2020 mixtape So Far So Good showcased collaborations with rising talents like Seyi Vibez and Bobzee. Though later removed in 2024 due to behind-the-scenes industry politics, the project only strengthened his reputation as an artist with something real to say.

With upcoming collaborations and a fire in his belly, ZIRO KINGIN is ready to remind the world that he’s not just back—he’s evolved. His music continues to serve as a gritty chronicle of hustle, pain, and survival. And as he prepares to drop his next project, the streets are watching closely.
