Maryland-bred rapper, songwriter, and producer Phil Adé (Philip Adetumbi) is officially back after stepping away from the spotlight for five years. His return comes with the new single “M.I.A.”, the lead offering from his forthcoming self-titled album Philip, dropping October 1st via Seenic/UnitedMasters. With “M.I.A.,” Adé reintroduces himself on his own terms steady, self-assured, and unapologetically in control. The record finds him gliding over the beat with effortless ease, speaking to the everyday moves that define where he’s at now: guarding his business, moving with clarity, and leaving validation-seeking in the past. The visual, shot in Los Angeles, carries the same energy Adé rolling through the city with a close-knit circle, radiating intention and calm confidence.
The upcoming project isn’t positioned as just a comeback, it’s more of a declaration. Philip marks a new era where Adé fully embraces independence, both personally and creatively. With sharp lyricism and an unfiltered approach to storytelling, he frames the album as his most authentic body of work yet. “I know who I am, and I know my art is enough,” he says. “I’m not chasing approval anymore. This album is me, free, focused, and stepping into my own in every way.” PRE SAVE HERE
