Davido Enlists Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj & Nas For “A Better Time” Album

Davido’s new album drops this week with a star-studded lineup including Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj and Nas.

Afropop artist Davido is nearing the release of his new album A Better Time. The follow-up to 2019’s A Good Time is slated to be released on Friday, Nov. 13. The 17-track album will have a number of features, including Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Young Thug, and Nas, according to Genius. Also, legendary producer Hit-Boy was behind some of the sounds, namely the Nas joint, which is called “Birthday Cake.

The Afropop singer spoke about the upcoming project in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. After COVID-19 posed its restrictions, Davido was left with a ton of time on his hands to record. “I got back in the studio, and funny enough, I was making better music than I had previously dropped, and we just kept going,” he told the publication.

“Before I knew it I had 20 songs in the studio, all done and recorded and finished. Then I was like, ‘Should I just put it out?’” He added that the new album title just made sense because of his last and that this album overall was a better job. “I took my time. Better visuals, better production, everything as a whole package,” he said.
