Cheekychizzy unveils 11-track LP ‘W.OT.S’

Nigerian artist Cheekychizzy has dropped his deeply personal album W.O.T.S (Word On The Streets), a project born from two years of creation, introspection, and transformation. The 11-track LP isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s a sonic journal of an artist discovering himself while the world shapes him in return.

The concept behind W.O.T.S is brilliantly simple yet profound: every experience is a street with its own lessons. From navigating the music industry to fatherhood, from Lagos to Los Angeles, from failure to faith—Cheekychizzy sees each chapter as a thoroughfare that leaves its mark. His central question to listeners? “What’s the word on your street?” While answers might range from survival to love, discipline to grief, Cheekychizzy’s personal word is definitive: FIND OUT. As he puts it, self-discovery isn’t theoretical—you’ve got to live it, risk it, mess up, and evolve. One particularly striking line encapsulates the album’s core: “The streets made a version of me. Now I’m finding out which parts of that version are actually me.”

The tracklist spans diverse sonic territory with cuts like “God Design,” “Wah Wah,” “Odeshi,” “Too Much Going On,” “SHSH,” “Shina Peters,” “Nasty Lover” featuring Dej Loaf and Konshens, “Jack Pot,” “Kpakorokpa,” and “No Go Jones.” The album showcases Cheekychizzy’s cross-cultural reach, particularly on “Nasty Lover,” which bridges Nigerian, Detroit, and Jamaican musical worlds into one cohesive track. It’s a fitting representation of a globally-minded Nigerian creative refusing to be boxed in by geography or genre.

W.O.T.S (Word On The Streets) is streaming now across all platforms.
