King Kaka said he hit the studio in June this year and came out with forty songs but the album will have 18 songs in the CDs and 22 songs on digital platforms.
Before the launch King Kaka held a series of events that started with the Album Cover Auction, Campus Tours, Crowning of the Eastland Royalty King and Queen and surprise listening parties with fans across the country in their various homes.
