DEELA closes out a defining year with new mixtape ‘Wicked’

Nigerian-British rapper DEELA closes out a defining year with the release of her long-awaited new mixtape, ‘Wicked’ - an 8-track statement piece that captures the full force of her creativity, confidence, and cross-continental sound.

Conceived during a writing camp in Nigeria, ‘Wicked’ embodies the duality that makes DEELA one of the most exciting voices emerging right now. The project channels her signature energy - unapologetically bold, dynamic, and made to move dancefloors - while grounding itself in her deep-rooted connection to both London’s global underground and West Africa’s vibrant rhythms.

Across its eight tracks, ‘Wicked’ seamlessly blends Afro-infused bounce, UK swagger, and genre-defying experimentation. With production from Geniu Bambino, Black Culture, and Twitch, the tape weaves a cohesive sonic that is also home to features from £Monzo on ‘L.O.M.N (Love Of My Night)’ , and Fetish on ‘Tough Nut’.

More than a mixtape, ‘Wicked’  see's DEELA stepping fully into her power - fearless, self-assured, and redefining what’s next for the new generation of boundary-pushing talent.
