Nigerian artist Burna Boy has brought joy to his fans by releasing a new single titled "Big 7," ahead of the highly anticipated launch of his seventh studio album, "I Told Them…." The album is set to be released on August 24 through Spaceship/Bad Habit/Atlantic Record.

Accompanied by a music video directed by Benny Boom, "Big 7" features guest appearances from notable figures like RZA, Busta Rhymes, Junior Mafia, and actor Shameik Moore. Burna Boy described the song as a melodious tribute to his musical journey's growth and aspirations, symbolizing his ambition to reach new heights.
