Nigerian hitmaker and sound architect Sarz has officially confirmed September 26 as the release date for his much-anticipated studio album, Protect Sarz at all Cost — a project that has already stirred excitement across the Afrobeats landscape and beyond.
The announcement was accompanied by the reveal of the album’s striking cover art, which features Sarz in silhouette with his back turned and arms stretched wide against a blazing red background. The visual captures the spirit of resilience and introspection that defines the upcoming body of work, hinting that the album will explore both personal and creative depths.
Set to be one of the most ambitious Afrobeats crossover albums in recent memory, Protect Sarz at all Cost boasts a lineup that merges Nigerian excellence with international star power. Confirmed collaborators include Ayra Starr, Lojay, and Asake, alongside American rap heavyweights Gunna and Big Sean. The eclectic mix of voices underscores Sarz’s evolution from a behind-the-scenes producer to a global music visionary.
Fans continue to speculate that Sarz may have secured surprise features from Afrobeats giants Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, given his long history of crafting timeless hits for the trio. If true, it would mark a rare moment uniting the “Big Three” on a single project — a move that could redefine the genre’s international narrative.
Earlier teasers, including a satirical press conference skit, showcased Sarz’s trademark wit and creativity. In the viral clip, when a “journalist” asked whether the Big Three would appear on the album, the screen abruptly faded to black, cleverly revealing the project’s title and sparking widespread fan chatter online.
With its thought-provoking title, cinematic rollout, and elite guest list, Protect Sarz at all Cost stands poised to become not just a career-defining milestone for Sarz, but also a pivotal moment for Afrobeats as it cements its global dominance. The project promises to blend innovation, storytelling, and rhythm — affirming Sarz’s place as one of Africa’s most influential and forward-thinking music producers.
