Singer Zinoleesky has released ‘Nostalgia’ under his newly unveiled label, Zinodict Music.
The ‘Celine Dion’ hitmaker dropped the nearly three-minute song on Friday across all streaming platforms.
The track was released under Zinodict Music, not Marlian Records, signalling a new phase in his career and suggesting he has quietly parted ways with the label, which is owned and managed by Naira Marley after six years.
Produced by AJ Productions, ‘Nostalgia’ finds Zinoleesky delivering romantic lyrics in his signature style, alongside a boastful nod to Africa’s richest man: “I get money like Dangote”. The release follows speculation in November 2025 of a rift between the singer and Marlian Records. At the time, Zinoleesky dismissed the rumours and reaffirmed his loyalty to the imprint.
Born Oniyinde Azeez, Zinoleesky found his love for music during his adolescence, initially venturing into freestyle rap. His breakthrough came in 2017 when his videos gained viral traction online.
He signed with Marlian Records in December 2019, gaining attention with his debut EP ‘Chrome Eccentric’ that same year.
During his time with the label, he released songs such as ‘Kilofeshe,’ ‘Gone Far,’ ‘Rocking,’ ‘Call of Duty’ and ‘Personal,’ and also dropped projects including Grit and Lust, which helped cement his place in Nigeria’s street pop scene.
Marlian Records, founded in 2019 by Naira Marley, has had artistes like Mohbad, C Blvck and Fabian Blu on its roster.
