SAMAD and Bella Shmurda first released LAGOS as a standalone single on September 4, 2026, before the collaboration became the second track on SAMAD’s debut EP, SAMAD (Vol 1). Shallythechampion produced the record, which was released under Samad Music Worldwide and later included in the eight-track project on November 6.
The collaboration pairs an emerging Ibadan artist with Bella Shmurda, whose catalogue includes records such as “Vision 2020”, “Cash App” with Zlatan and Lincoln, and “Party Next Door”. Bella’s appearance is one of five guest contributions across the EP, alongside Pheelz, Boy Muller, Jaido P and Lil Frosh.
SAMAD has explained that his approach to music is shaped by storytelling and his cultural background. In a 2025 interview with WeTalkSound, he said traditional sounds and Yoruba stories influence his work, while his songs can draw from fictional characters or real-life experiences.
The earlier single release gave the collaboration its own place in his catalogue before the EP arrived. Its inclusion near the beginning of the project also connects the new collection with music listeners had already encountered from him during 2026.
