Oríkì is an album blending jazz, Fuji and Afrobeat in a powerful tribute to Yorùbá heritage. Featuring Mercury Prize-shortlisted Moses Boyd, Afronaut Zu (Steam Down, Rudimental) and spoken word artist Adesayo, Oríkì merges ancestral praise with contemporary expression. Six years in the making, the album draws inspiration from Niji's great-grandmother, Matilda Taiwo (Mata), and serves as his personal statement on identity, history, and homecoming. The album is threaded with the evocative rhythms of the talking drum, grounding each composition in cultural authenticity. With Oríkì, Niji invites listeners into his journey of reconnection, presenting a work both timeless and rooted-a musical expression of past, present and future converging. Album Tracks 1. ÀDÙNNÍ 2. Sounds of the City Feat. Moses Boyd 3. Jayé (Dance Dance) 4. Mo Ti DÉLÉ 5. A13 Fuji 6. Oba (Drum Break) 7. Mata 8. Oríkì 9. Joshua's Legacy
