What’s taken so long? Mayorkun didn’t shy away from telling the truth. “This has been the most challenging album for me,” he admitted.
Between endless clearance issues and navigating label protocols, it felt like every time they picked a date, something got in the way. “Music isn’t how it used to be,” he reflected.
“Now, you’ve got to do everything by the book and we just wanted to avoid trouble.”
Still The Mayor isn’t just a title, either. It’s a continuation of a journey a bold statement that he’s still here, still evolving, and still ready to lead.
He said he chose the title to spark questions and show that he’s still on the path he started.
The album will be Mayorkun’s first since Back In Office in 2021. And from all indications, it’s not just another project it’s a statement.
With new backing, old support, and a fresh story to tell, Still The Mayor might just be his most defining work yet.
