After making her label debut with the Afrobeats-inspired single "Life" in August, Montreal rapper Naya Ali has announced her forthcoming new album.
We Did the Damn Thing is due February 7 via Bonsound, following Ali's two-part debut, 2020's Godspeed: Baptism (Prelude) and 2021's Godspeed: Elevated. Produced by the artist's longtime collaborators Adrian X and Kevin Figs, the record features guest appearances by Dominique Fils-Aimé, Kim Richardson and Zibz.
"We Did the Damn Thing is a celebration — not just of everything I've achieved, but of everything we've achieved together," Ali explained in a press release, which notes that the album sees her lean into diverse influences like punk, trap and country. "As a people, as a community, as a culture, we've come so far. Our victories are collective, and the strides we've made are monumental."
To celebrate the release, Ali will play a trio of Quebec shows early next year in Montreal, Quebec City and Gatineau. Find those tour dates, as well as the tracklist details, below.
