The final featured track is “Azure” featuring Chi Virgo, Odeal and Tay Iwar. The title of the track fits the Out the blue theme with the definition of “Azure” meaning bright blue in colour like a cloudless sky. The track is an all Nigerian Lineup with Chi Virgo who was born in Nigeria but raised in Cheltenham, the now London based songstress has a delicate delivery that matches the style and aesthetic that he presents. Tay Iwar also features on this track and in recent times has been on a run of features having released his last album in 2019, the 24-year-old Nigerian has featured on tracks alongside Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Juls and Pa Salieu in 2021 alone.
