Speaking ahead of the release, the versatile artist reflected on his father’s influence and the deeper meaning behind the new track.
“My father always told me, ‘Focus on your own path, build your legacy, don’t depend on mine.’ That’s the energy behind ROBOROBO. It’s about authenticity, resilience, and rhythm,” he said.

With ROBOROBO, he aims to bridge generations of music lovers, appealing to both long-time Fuji enthusiasts and newer fans of Afrobeats and indigenous fusion.
