The opening stretch of 9 quickly introduces another side of FOLA with “How Many?”, an Afrobeats and street-pop record officially released on October 9, 2026. The song follows the album’s introductory track, “Awade,” and helps establish the direction of FOLA’s sophomore project.

Coming after the momentum of his debut project Catharsis, “How Many?” arrives during an important stage in the Nigerian singer-songwriter’s career. It forms part of a 14-track album that combines FOLA’s solo material with collaborations involving several notable Nigerian artists.

The record also sets up the transition into “2am in toronto,” FOLA’s collaboration with Davido, which follows it on the official album sequence. This gives “How Many?” a place within the early run of songs that introduces listeners to 9 before the project moves into its wider collection of collaborations and solo recordings.

Released under Dangbana Republik Records and EMPIRE, the track contributes to the full 9 album while adding another entry to FOLA’s growing catalogue of Nigerian Afrobeats releases. Its combination of Afrobeats and street-pop places it within the broader sound presented across the sophomore project.
