Over time, Fola has released noteworthy projects, including his debut EP What a Feeling (2024) and collaborations like Lost with Kizz Daniel, Who Does That? with Bella Shmurda, and more. He is part of a wave of new artists whose music fuses heartfelt personal stories with modern Afro-influences, giving voice to love, hope, and inner conflict.
