The Multi-Hyphenate Artist Shares His Journey On First Studio Album
Life seems to be going really great for Rotimi these days! The actor and recording artist recently earned a RIAA gold certification for his song, “In My Bed” featuring rapper, Wale. The Powerstar says that he finally feels validated as a music artist sharing with Billboard, “to get that first [RIAA gold certification] is validation of everything that me, my team, my family and everyone believed in.” On August 27, 2021 Rotimi released his debut studio album entitled, All Or Nothing via FrontRo Music Group LLC / EMPIRE. The project follows his December 2019 EP The Beauty of Becoming.
“It’s a blessing especially knowing my story isn’t the most simplest, playing a character on TV and being an actor makes it harder for people at times to say, ‘Oh wow, he’s really an artist.’ ” – Rotimi to Billboard.com
All Or Nothing opens up with the sound of Rotimi’s mother’s voice affirming him and expressing how proud she is of him for following his dreams on the single, “Memory Lane” which also features Stacy Barthe & Marquis Rachad. The song takes listeners on his journey from selling mixtapes from his college dorm room, to getting started in his acting career to ultimately, where he is now as an accomplished actor and music artist.
The project contains fifteen tracks with features from Alpha P on “Fayah,” Fireboy Dml on “Weapon,” Young Bleu on “Polaroid” and Tank on “Grown Decisions.” With this project, the Nigerian-born artist has proven that he really can do it all!
All Or Nothing is currently available via all digital streaming platforms. Be sure to get yours now!
